Is that Nawār? And where is Nawār’s home?
Lights, and where is the house of light?
The cruelest of people, in the remotest of lands—
The darkest of people in the most radiant of homes

She whose violet sidelock has leaned
With a temple of purple that has faded
Over a cheek of pomegranate blossom.
Upon a cheek of hailstones.
