It was as though the smoke of his pipe,
As though the smoke of his hookah
When it emerged from his pearly mouth,
When it appeared from his lovely mouth

غيم نشا من شفق احمر

Were a cloud that arose from red twilight,
Was a red twilight cloud
Which, rising, veiled the full moon’s radiance.
Rising high, covering the full moon's radiance
Sol 6.1
