1. At the pass between the two flashes is the tryst,
So pitch our tents for here is the halting-place.

2. Seek it not hereafter nor wander from it,
O rover or lightning flash or meteor.

3. And sport as gazelles once frolicked there,
And browse as the antelopes freely grazed.

4. In a meadow, whose nightingales rejoiced,
Their howling answered by a singer.

5. Soft are its margins, gentle is its breeze,
The clouds give lightning, thunder rumbles loud,

6. And rain descends through the rifts in clouds
Like tears shed copiously at parting.

7. Drink the wine of its goblet in its tavern
And delight in the singing voice chanting there.

8. A relic of the days of Adam has related
Tales of the paradise house that once stood.

9. Verily, its charm once spat from its saliva
As musk - on us the beetle showered this boon.
