Poetry of Longing for the Beloved
- As Al-Buhturi expresses:
In you I answered longing when it called upon me,
and I defied the commands of grey hair that warned me.
Did you not see that my tearful eyes bear witness
to my desire, revealing my state?
Though nights and months may pass, our love remains
unchanged in the flow of fleeting time.
A moon among moons amidst darkness,
cherished by a branch of branches.
I sought solace from desire, yet I found none,
for there wasn’t solace in the love I hold.
I wished to abandon my beloved but could find
no heart that would usher me towards abandonment.
Fair skinned mare, thank your generous hand
for offering kindness to the one who wronged.
You frighten your neighbors; thus, you send forth
an ardent pulse of jealousy.
His keen eye has not overlooked the distant herds,
as he lies circumstanced by a strand of proximity.
The best of his land tightened when he threw
his duty upon its fields and its knights.
With knights like falcons, and braided curls,
who resemble the fierce forms of predatory birds.
When they saw the illuminated formations of armies,
they exclaimed: “Safety is ours, and it is not yet time for security.”
They cried out from the heat of iron, and behind them,
the flame of war blazed, along with the fear of sharp swords.
On one day, the hours felt endless,
as if it was a time drawn from the past.
They were sustained by imminent victory, swiftly followed
in an hour of chaos amidst disarray.
They sought to escape, and how could a band
demanding mercy by God and the ruler find safety?
Captives approached you, chained in iron,
with hands bound, subdued and lifeless.
Release their bonds with your grace, for they have
been pierced by the swords of accountability.
For you among the flock of Banu Taghlib is a gracious boon,
so come forth again among the children of Shaiban.
