And I drank wine like the blood of the slaughtered,
while the full moon leaned out through the eastern horizon.
وكأنماand as though زهرthe bright ones of الكواكبthe stars حولهaround it
وكأنما زهر الكواكب حوله

And it was as though the bright stars around it
were pearls scattered upon a blue carpet.
