1. Your ink in the mouth of time is delight
And your script on both his hands is henna

2. And your palm in the likeness of the full moon has appeared, half of it
So it is no wonder that the wristband is a meteor

3. Each of your glances, whether fleeting or lingering, though hurtful
Are wounds to those who have no kinship to you

4. It pours as honey bees pour in their hive
Even if that which pours contains no drink

5. And it writes what eyes convey in a wink
What but an eyelash and writing is sorcery

6. So before you my eyes take their blackness
And this is a pure heart and youth

7. I see the wrist above the bracelet as a dove
And beneath its wings a crow takes flight

8. As if the pelt of night were a scroll you penned
And in it the harbingers of dawn are reproach

9. As if the brow of dawn were a parchment
As if the lines of script on it were mist

10. As if the lightning's glow were meaning you evoked
As if the horizon's glimmer contained correctness

11. As if you are either looking in a book
Intelligence, and the book's pages, clouds

12. I see you hoping for what you don't deserve
And not all knowledge is a needle and clothes

13. Enough of flowers that morning's breeze caressed
Does the dew between the torrents reckon?

14. How foolish is the sheep, fooled by her fleece
If she thought the shepherd wolves

15. It's enough honor that people's elite bore you
And enough pride that a door guards you

16. For you the heart instead of husband, children, father
And reign over all humanity's necks

17. And you weren't created but as bliss for a wretch
So who has seen bliss as torment?

18. Let be, people their women crowded out
They became like how foam did flies

19. They're equal, so this is the same as that
And similar in meaning, youngster and hag

20. And I'm not surprised women have masculinized
But men's feminization is strange
