1. By my father, Khall is gracious - I praised his brotherhood
Gentle of conversation, bringing people together

2. We spent a night with him, as if his talk
Were the blossoms of a protected garden, shunning unwanted touches

3. And we stayed awake as he regaled us with conversation as though it
Were the nectar of bees mixed for us with the daughter of the cup

4. A beloved to all people, as though he
Were shared out among hearts, spirits and breaths

5. He is the star whose light dispelled the gloom of night
Clearer than a sun and more eloquent than a storyteller

6. And yet when the sun rose he disappeared
No wonder that a star fades away in sunlight
