Her blossoming beauty must be
taught
In the ancient eastern cities
- In imaginary seats of the caliphates.
Because
It is a lesson of golden government,
Her beauty,
And her dynasty looking tresses is a caliphate in whose length
An army of nightingales
Are resting,
In the nocturnal terror of history,
Sitting like white flowers,
in the margin,
And her hands
- Which is a token of simplicity -
Is Leila's nocturnal shirt,
And her ears,
Like the hymen of gazelles
And her eyes,
Like a mass of sunrise.
Her blazing fingers
Has defined the alphabet of love
Because
Her forefinger attests the gazelles.
I have received expect order from her,
To throw her blazing tresses
On dead sheets
And witness the resurrection of mankind. |
