When the moon is born in the east	A
And the white rooftops drift asleep	B
Under the heaped up light	C
People leave their shops and march forth in groups	D
To meet the moon	E
Carrying bread and a radio to the mountaintops	F
And their narcotics	G
There they buy and sell fantasies	H
And images	I
And die as the moon comes to life	J
What does that luminous disc	K
Do to my homeland	L
The land of the prophets	M
The land of the simple	N
The chewers of tobacco the dealers in drug	O
What does the moon do to us	P
That we squander our valor	Q
And live only to beg from Heaven	R
What has the heaven	R
For the lazy and the weak	S
When the moon comes to life they are changed to	T
corpses	I
And shake the tombs of the saints	U
Hoping to be granted some rice some children	R
They spread out their fine and elegant rugs	V
And console themselves with an opium we call fate	W
And destiny	X
In my land the land of the simple	N
What weakness and decay	Y
Lay hold of us when the light streams forth	Z
Rugs thousands of baskets	M
Glasses of tea and children swarn over the hills	A2
In my land	L
where the simple weep	B
And live in the light they cannot perceive	B2
In my land	L
Where people live without eyes	C2
And pray	Y
And fornicate	L
And live in resignation	R
As they always have	D2
Calling on the crescent moon	E
' O Crescent Moon	E
O suspended God of Marble	N
O unbelievable object	L
Always you have been for the east for us	P
A cluster of diamonds	E2
For the millions whose senses are numbed'	L
	-
On those eastern nights when	F2
The moon waxes full	G2
The east divests itself of all honor	Q
And vigor	Q
The millions who go barefoot	L
Who believe in four wives	H2
And the day of judgment	L
The millions who encounter bread	L
Only in their dreams	I2
Who spend the night in houses	I
Built of coughs	J2
Who have never set eyes on medicine	R
Fall down like corpses beneath the light	L
	-
In my land	L
where the stupid weep	B
And die weeping	K2
Whenever the crescent moon appears	L2
And their tears increase	M2
Whenever some wretched lute moves them	N2
or the song to 'night'	L
In my land	L
In the land of the simple	N
where we slowly chew on our unending songs	O2
A form of consumption destroying the east	L
Our east chewing on its history	X
its lethargic dreams	I2
Its empty legends	E2
Our east that sees the sum of all heroism	P2
In Picaresque Abu Zayd al Hilali	N
