Sol 6.1

  1. هريسة خلتها وقد ملأ

    الطباخ منها الاتاء ما وسعا

    I fancied the harisa—after the cook had filled

    the vessel with as much of it as it could hold—

  2. درا نثيرا أسلاكه قطع

    في ماء ورد وصندل نقعا

    to be scattered pearls, their strings severed,

    steeped in rosewater and sandalwood.
