Love Poems From Al-Andalus

I
In my palace,
I have built a hundred fountains.

Though they play all day,
none can catch
the sparkle of her eyes.

II
Fall is the season
of the great migration.

Under cloudy skies,
I raise her handkerchief,
but find her scent has flown.

III
In my garden,
I have created paradise.

Alas, the chaffinch
sings her heart out
in my neighbor's tree.
