1. Your estrangement, despite glory, for a month
Is harder on me than the fasting month

2. And how can I visit you when showers weep
Over my abode with four fastenings

3. It once was an open, easy residence
Now it is a difficult, wretched valley

4. And of its wonders, my purity reaching you
Thirsty, while the sea rages

5. My daughters like frogs in their burrows
My family in the beams like doves

6. I call out whenever clouds rise
Then floodgates weep to us smiling

7. Around us with that but not upon us
God has protected us from harm of clouds

8. Collapsing, the walls in it
Prostrating to thunder without an imam

9. As if guarded, what I secured in it
Upon open, outspread tent-doors

10. So no door refuses, nor wall
Turns away a face on illicit desire

11. It was Garden of Paradise, returned
Courtyards of Paradise and lote-trees bent
