1. My eyes flowed with coral tears,
Do eyes contain coral ores?

2. Time has passed, yes I've lost my tears,
And they flowed with what the eyes bore.

3. No more does parting laugh in joy,
Yearning's union cried in grief and pain.

4. My love for Miriam sufficed me
The day of parting brought sorrows and rain.

5. A Qurashi, you ask about her lineage,
Her ancestry is from the Sudan's dark knights.

6. Her posterior from an enormous dune,
Her charm from the stick of ebony.

7. She's chaste, wild, and fierce when united,
Her talk leads to tyranny and malice.

8. I gathered in my heart her disease and cure,
Alas to the one who combines opposites.
