And do you not see the rain, halting to rest and weeping,
Or do you not see the laden rain clouds weeping,
scattering tears upon Shafiq’s gardens?
Shedding tears upon the meadows of dawn.

And so the drops of its tears from above them were
So that the drops of its tears falling upon them
pearls scattered across a carpet of carnelian.
Were scattered pearls on a carpet of rubies.
