1. They wove the feelings from the night
And extracted the pearls from the dawn

2. They twisted the prison bars and the
Ribs of the saddles and the chests

3. If I said they told of stars
I was right, they tell of lights

4. And when did you hear of a falling star
That does not dislike to disappear

5. Or if I said they told of gazelles
I meant nothing but aloofness

6. And when you saw the gazelle
You saw it hides in the chests

7. Or if I said their saliva is sweet
It did not taste the wounds

8. So if you asked about love
Ask the experts about it

9. And the supporter of murders
If gathered, salt would be a prince

10. As if it is a garden
That carried from the hellfire burning brands

11. A star that distributes to it suns
Then waters it with pearls

12. I have two questions about you
And I remained short of them

13. A coal on your cheek, how can
That reproach remain unique to it

14. Coolness on your lips, how can I be
Satisfied with it and inherit burning
