1. With resolute determination I donned the dark night
Bent over as if dawn was hidden in his chest

2. Enveloped by the blackness of shade that startles
The gazelle, stirring their hearts with fright

3. The ambitious star peered out towering high
Speaking to the constellation in the night, slender at the waist

4. Dignified as the nights passed as though
He whispered intimacies, hearing them in his ear

5. Every corner settled into tranquility
Blinking gently as the full moon smiled

6. The eagle of the sky took refuge there as though
Yearning for a nest, did that eagle

7. I know not whether from his silence and serenity
Old age made him dignified or he dignified old age
