Morning’s Appearance |
From under the horizon’s skirt is appearing
The day and night’s virgin daughter that is dawn |
The sky has completed benedictions for the star’s crop
The sun has decorated the eastern horizon with mirrors |
The sky, getting news of the arrival of the sun
Has packed up night’s litter on dust-cloud’s shoulders |
The sun’s flame seems to be the produce of this field
Which was sown by sky’s farmer as sparks of stars |
The morning star is on the way from the sky retrieving
As the last nightly worshiper from the mosque be retrieving |
What a beautiful sight it is as somebody slowly
Draws the bright sword from the sheath’s darkness |
The dawn’s meaning in the eastern horizon is hidden
As inside the goblet the pleasant wine is hidden |
The dawn is under the skirt of the friendly breeze
The noise of the conch is mixed with the call of adhan |
All the singing birds woke up by the cuckoo’s call
Every string of dawn’s system has become musical |
