Whosoever claims
To know the evident truth
Lies...
Whosoever emulates light
Shall cut Hydra’s head,
Casting it into the lake of fire.

She prays,
Repeating constantly,
Oh Allah, Allah!
Has not the time come yet
For the dragon to vomit the sun…?!

( 3 )

Definitely,
The sun will pierce through...
No harm to wait for a while.
The suckling buds
Never get bored of waiting,
Waiting for the milk of the sky...

A woman copulating the wind,
She casts me
Into the heart of the storm.
My fate is to live blind,
Sand flung into the unknown,
Remaining alone,
Wondering when my end will come.

( 5 )

She remains my mellow wine
I desire
When my mood
Needs to be modified...

( 6 )

A chalice of mellow wine,
With a little romance
And a wild gypsy's dance
Would make the finest elixir...

( 7 )

I desire thee.
Blame me not
If I saddle the horses of war…!

( 8 )

I have come
To set the bird of poetry
Free
From the fools’ cage...!

( 9 )

God mocks at me
Whenever I want to tame
The horses of fate.

( 10 )

Enough!
I abominate the snowy tales,
Tales of the foolish
Whose brains are decayed with opium…

( 11 )

Temptation is the seed of evil
Planted by woman,
Thus a woman will always remain a woman,
Even if the devil has seduced her.
When the devil seduces a man,
The man perishes.

Oh, my child
This poem revealed unto me the prophecy:
God’s sovereignty will stand forth
Visible unto me…
For, lo! I am the spirit that came from God’s breath…
It will neither perish nor taste death…
It will ascend unto him on a day
And will remain in His eternal sway...

( 13 )

By The word and what they inscribe!
They are impostors;
Their myths and tales
Are fraught with blood and tears.

( 14 )

Truly, truly
I say:
The sun is in the boat
Sailing in the spirit
Between two shadows...
The phony light was burnt.
Thus I recite the verses of light

( 15 )

Have pity on me!
I am not a Son of God to be crucified
To redeem sins...
Wait!
So let it be if my blood were
The oil of your lamps...!
