***

In a faraway Muslim country,

Where the muezzin sings loudly,

In silks I bask in the ottoman,

Savor the luxury of wines.

But I will start, having heard my own:

The moaning of the wind or the singing of birds ...

And immediately my soul will rise -

So reading ancient pages

Scriptures of the Sacred Alarm

And he will turn us over to the shores,

Where, albeit among the impassable,

All the same cute sad hearts.
