"Sit near me on this red bed, I lift the poppy to your lips;

Your hand is strong upon my breast;

My beauty is a garden and you the bird in the flowering tree."

Come in haste this dusk, dear child.

"My beauty is a garden with crimson flowers."

But I cannot reach over the thicket of your hair.

This is

Nurshali

sighing for the garden;

Come in haste this dusk, dear child.
