1. Peace upon those circling heights
Though stripped of their neighborly company

2. Coy gazelles startled from the snare of the heedless hunter
With their glancing eyes and slender legs

3. May God water my days with Hashim's bounty
To the murmuring brooks where flowers burst forth

4. Clouds trailing their hems over the earth
Till blossoms make the rocky clefts lush

5. The dwellings of my joy, scene of my youth
And sport amid stars like brilliant gems

6. The hand of fate cast us from a parted bow
Its arrows have not marked us for this hour

7. Shall we not turn in the morn to the island glade
Sweet blowing breezes beyond the thickets

8. With its streams and birds chanting their plaint
Amidst its trees, between rushing waters

9.
Gossamer raiment of sky, the wind gentle

10. Borne on outspread wings, raining
A path though roads thwart me in confusion
