AL MALIK.
A GHAZAL OF AL QAHAR.
AL MALIK the magnificent
Was sitting in his silken tent.
But when he saw the boy Habib
I wis his colour came and went.
Quoth he: By Allah, ’tis a star
Struck from the azure firmament!
Habib: I pour the wine of love
For Al Awaz the excellent.
The king: I envy him thy shape,
Thy voice, thy colour, and thy scent.
