The cunning of the houris

I am a prisoner of the ages

By Kisama Riyo Published about a year ago 1 min read

I drew you in my imagination from my feelings

And I mastered the drawings without deficiency

And your beauty comes to me in my solitude

I did not know that you were like the light

That appeared in the darkness and I walk

With it and my pride increased in the ages

Others see you asking about you ignorantly

And do not know that you are like perfumes

So I said to him: Cover his blindness

So you did not see what I saw of vanity

He said: You did not find it in her in the past

So I said to him: You are my joy

He said: I see that you did not know women

So they gathered in us from the plot

So I said: I love the plot of the houris in us

So your judgment on women is very unjust

I am the blind one absent from

The faults of the beloved among men

You have the apparent and hidden judgment

From me and I became from him among the houris
