Who Is Here? Who Is There?
In the G
arden, when the
autumn wind blows,
In the bird’s voice there is w
ailing
and l
ament
ation.
In the lovesick nighting
ale’s song there is
a c
all,
with
a different effect,
a different m
ark.
Still, the nighting
ale is ye
arning for the love of the flower.
Still, the s
al
am
ander is nesting in the oven.
Still, M
ansur is h
anging on the g
allows.
He s
ays: “I’m the Truth,” yet the secret (truth) is hidden.
Still, Zul
aykh
a is not
afr
aid of rebuke.
Still, Yusuf is ev
ading Zul
aykh
a.
Still, the Christi
an m
aiden is bre
aching Sheikh S
an’
an''s f
aith.
Still, the Sheikh is tending her swine.
