And a slender one, his sash hanging loose, is startled by
The tinkling of her bracelet troubles the sleepless lover,
the bracelet’s jingle, and he complains of its tightness.
Complaining of its narrowness.

He is sleepy-eyed; musk traced upon his cheek

a lām; I discerned death in its descending stroke.
Blaming him, I learned of death in its moisture.

He mixed the wine with his saliva when he served it,
He mixed the wine in his cup when he gave drink,
so I grew drunk from his mouth and from his ewer.
I was intoxicated by his mouth and by his jug.
