The White Palace

How generous are you, 

o King of Jinn and Men!

 within the walls of your palace 

within the throng of your lovers 

even an imposter is let in 

 

At every visit, the relic of Yusuf was flung across our sight

and giddy with its perfume, pleasant as a spring breeze, 

we swayed, renewed by this soft downpour of pure light
