Do you see the stars shining up in the sky,
Winking quietly as we stare up?
Do you feel the winds surging about the hamlet,
Pushing everything in their path to and fro?
Now the stars are mild, taciturn, and free,
And they shine tonight with wooing airs.
The quietness that comes with the night
Confirms its unison, its oneness with the glittering stars.
The winds bring their strength upon the surface,
Rushing sand and dust into people’s eyes and homes,
Pulling up the shrubs and disturbing all life.
She oppresses women’s gowns, laughing with abandon.
But even so, the stars glitter
As the wind plays her trick
On the quiet hamlet.
