Affectionate Mothers

O thou affectionate mothers
Where you were slumbering tired in the mud houses
And the darkness, shining by your breath perfume. 

You who were defeating the fear 
by conjurations and soothing the pain by chanting.
The nightingales hearken to you 
while Jasmine fall asleep in our dreams

Ah _ thou affectionate mothers 
As if the death straightens up a stone above us!
So come! drive the shattered clouds where we sleep 

Maybe if you were pouring continuously,a sweet rain from your breath, 
Our dreams will grow greener in the freshness hills
