As though the ripe Qūṭī fruit, in the radiance of forenoon,
Like the buds of an oleander in the grace of dawn
Borne by the palm of the leaves,
Borne by the breeze through leaves

فَقَامَت على الأَطراف والحَلَمَاتِ
Were maidens’ breasts dislodged from their place,
The breasts of maidens were shaken from their places
And thus standing on their tips and nipples.
And rose upon the edges and the dreamscapes
