The humpback
(by Hamzah al Fansuri)
First, the back is longing
Sounds the lilting thunder
His heart is prone to be mixed with sorrow
like being sliced with a knife
The back is singing while being beautiful
O moon rise sir
My anxiety is not found out
Come out in the clouds
A mat we collide
Listening to the longing fertilizer
Her voice is so soft
Like people who have a mate
Beautiful back every month
A few jumps
The moon is pregnant next to the ocean
Hear it warmly

If the moon falls
Where can the back together
The back is singing while being beautiful
O moon rise sir
My anxiety is not found out
Come out the moon in the clouds
