1. She walked at dawn while the star leaned west
And the color of dusk was separating from the awe of morning

2. And the darkness intended in the horizon to journey
As the mixed company intended to travel

3. As if the stars are abundant jasmine
As if the dusk is a caravan of Indians

4. As if the Pleiades when they appeared were rings
Adorned with it from a palm of a sleepy fingers

5. As if Suhail is a watcher to the stars
As if the meteors are a pouring love sick

6. As if the horizon is a barren highland
As if the water sources of dawn in it are waterholes

7. So it was met by the dawn paralleling it
And can two similar conditions be equal, one scant and one abundant?

8. I wondered at its course though nations lofty and tribes
Have stood in its way

9. Punishing with it soft pliant swords
And unsheathing on it quivering arrows

10. The air was perfumed with its aromatic scent
So its banners were waved by the morning breeze and carriers

11. Passionate love for it in every heart are meadows
And a full moon in every heart are homes

12. It appeared so I said dawn is bright radiant
And it disappeared so I said the branch is green leaning

13. Her friends surrounded her as if
She is the full moon between stars equal

14. On them from the dawn light are veils
And from the ignorant night shadows

15. So I was not aware except her goodbye greeting
And her tears on her cheeks are trickling

16. And she stood up to my embrace and the trinket
Swaying while her heart and anklets from it are silent

17. There we turned to hug each other as two rods turn
In a garden, leafy and withering

18. And she went swaying in her steps gently
As the drinking companion sways tottering

19. By God the days of union were short
That’s how days of union are few
