O, pigeon let me smart on my pain
Many desires call me to move away….
Thirteen days I suffer melancholy moments
And your lantern fuels bad to me….
********
Awakes me at dawn as severe volcano
Hurts my head even my abdomen becomes large
Snapping of dirty claws pinch my chest until turns malady.
When I listen to bad news comes from Amman.
I wait, but how can I wait that abstained dreamy autumn
Severe dots of severe passion hurl into my chest deep.
They come as if swooping down falcon runs suddenly.
My desert is grieved even its water becomes shallow.
What can I do with those ill-tempered men?
Neighs of swift horse crossed with me in deferent way.
A nightingale chants on the next side of the valley
Then I draw my weapon to kill my enemy
Suddenly and quickly, he ran away.
The sky seems red and the time is last afternoon…
Here and there, I pick the rein of my horse
The grass is over the knee tall giving rise…
I settled while the place is covered with dew…
Taking nap, my horse neighs….
I woke up and I saw a bird…
A girl in nineteen of age comes there…
She is my sister who was married from tow years ago…
She called the time is winter and I do fearsome…
And you must come bake to be our gust
I played with her child who is four weeks old….
I loved him too much and giving him present….
He is pale cheek still I remember
His mother swears unless I spend my night there…
Like the nightingale when he smiles tenderly in front of me….
They entitle to him my name from that day…
Still he alive and calls me Um….
