Here with a Loaf of Bread beneath the Bough,

A Flask of Wine, a Book of Verse

- and Thou

Beside me singing in the Wilderness -

And Wilderness is

Paradise enow.

 القِطّةُ السوداءُ

والكُتُبُ الحَكيمهْ

أمرانِ يجتَمِعانِ في امرأَةٍ كليمهْ

أخَذَتْ هوى قلْبي

الى كَلِماتِها

كالحربِ تأخُذْ من ضحاياها الغنيمهْ

للهِ من حَرْبٍ

أَتوقُ لِوَقْعِها...
ما اشتاقَتِ الأفواهُ
للقُبَلِ الحميمهْ
