As though wine from Adhri‘at,
Like water from grapes and apricots
And raincloud water and freshly picked grapes,
Poured on embers almost burnt away,

إِذا ما خالَطَ النَسمَ الرَشيفا
Were upon Jamra’s canine teeth, late in the night,
When the gentle breeze begins to stir,
When breath mingles with the saliva being sipped.
And dying flames leap up in fiery play.
