Who Is Here? Who Is There?
<
Br/>
<
Br/>In the Garden, when the autumn wind
Blows,
<
Br/>In the
Bird’s voice there is wailing and lamentation.
<
Br/>
<
Br/>In the lovesick nightingale’s song there is a call,
<
Br/>with a different effect, a different mark.
<
Br/>
<
Br/>Still, the nightingale is yearning for the love of the flower.
<
Br/>Still, the salamander is nesting in the oven.
<
Br/>
<
Br/>Still, Mansur is hanging on the gallows.
<
Br/>He says: “I’m the Truth,” yet the secret (truth) is hidden.
<
Br/>
<
Br/>Still, Zulaykha is not afraid of re
Buke.
<
Br/>Still, Yusuf is evading Zulaykha.
<
Br/>
<
Br/>Still, the Christian maiden is
Breaching Sheikh San’an''s faith.
<
Br/>Still, the Sheikh is tending her swine.
