Sol 5.6

  1. The dunes’ bracelets have embroidered it,

    and the beds of the pools have set it with turquoise;

  2. the circlets of ḥawādhān have saffron-dyed it,

    and basil’s turbans have colored it.

  3. And the wind, among the Caesars of the fields,

    mixes paradise-green with Bahramān-red,

  4. then suffuses its bewitching scatter with the blend,

    before the hand of Time folds it away.
