1. The necks of reason do not forget my time
I draw my tail gently inside you

2. So do not fear my aloofness from you, for I
In my distance from you, am inclined toward you

3. And in my heart is a love for you that cannot
Be expressed in its essence by my tongue

4. But seclusion has been made possible for me
And I hope proximity will be made possible for me

5. So here I am in a place far from flowing
While my heart is in a place far from flowing

6. Playing with me is a passion
That has stripped me bare of the letters ‘ayn and ra’

7. And of ra’, ha’, meem, and ya’
It has stripped me bare whatever clothed me when it stripped me bare
