UPON GAZELLE'S SHRILL, HALT
What is only certain
from The History, of the World Literature
(with respect to which, the adjective world
comprises all four sides,
of the World
or it is not at all)
is that the noun
ġazal
flattering
charming
flirting. . .
becomes
a love poem
How so?
So that its radicals
`ayn-zā`-lām
are in the closest relation
(primarily) with the verb
ġazila a ġazal
what in (Arabic)
Dictionary (of Creation)
(for a hedgehog) means
Upon cry of gazelle, halt
So, how to not begin immediately with
the antelope
ġazal
(graceful)?
(Oh, a gazelle, a pure Poetry!)
and with her male
ġazāl
and her cubs
ġizlān / ġizlah
(which there they are
jumping;
around)
How not to hear, instantly
a troubadour
ġazil
enamored
Because, for her
the antelope
ġazālah
smells the musk
