(1) At the market of your nakedness I spent all that I had Without seeing a thing. (2) After loving you… then everything was over After hating me … then everything was over My love met your hate They exchanged stabs to the death. (3) If my dot entered your crescent Another sun would rise And end up the night’s legendary darkness. (4) If my dot entered your crescent I would get back my robbed childhood From the marketplace of robbers and usurers . (5) If my dot entered your crescent A red apple tree would grow in my heart. (6) If my dot entered…. My heart would refrain from weeping at the hands of the boat And my memory from waiting for the lost crow and dove. (7) Your body is a repast But not for a man like me It is for upright beasts. (8) Once I entered the plain of your love The mountain of your haughtiness began to appear to me; I who have nothing save two bleeding hands to climb with. (9) If my dot entered your crescent I would discover a new alphabet That begins with nuun* and ends at her dot As does the miser at the purse of his liras every night. (10) If my dot entered .. My heart would stop firing bullets At the characters! (11) If my dot entered … I would turn into a shepherd of the plaits of your pretty lies. (12) If my dot entered your crescent I would be able to catch the clouds And then to send them wherever I will But you would be able to catch the clouds And to paste them on your breasts and legs And to make of what is left a dish of kisses! **** *Nuun is an Arabic letter has a dot inside.
