Sol 5.6

  1. A blaze-faced day, its tidings white-footed;

    for your exalted station, my congratulations upon it—and my joy.

  2. The land thirsts [reading غليك as the probable إليك, “for you”] amid this separation—

    as plants thirst for distant rainclouds.

  3. You filled her with longing until, when you had made her thirst,

    the mirage took the place of water for her.

  4. Two feast-days were hers; when she communed with her Lord,

    she said to Him, “Make them three through a reunion.”
