"We have Passed Over There"

Translator: Husain Selmi

 

Moon’s Passages:

 

 Harfu Atfi

 First Pining

The sky of mine

Is dragged by the chains of the letter

Harfu El-Atfi

Who shut up heavens windows,

I am attached to the body of his

When he makes a pillow out of me

I am attached to the intellect of his

To the debts of his

To the assets of his.

The very breeze of mine

Has a acquiesced in my attachment

To the echoes of the night snoring of his,

While keeping the breaths of mine abated,

Desecrating the night’s sooth saying.

 

When I lock the walls of the dwelling

Upon the remains of the body of mine,

Spring catches at my veins

Like a cob,

Staggering down into the corners of the web of his.

I have become

A snow taking abide

Into the cells of the dwelling walls,

Hooting with the inhalation of melting.
