How beautiful is the sky in the evening,
adorned in its pear-studded gown,
radiating splendour. It’s as if the stars are
celebrating in a wedding of joy and song. It
is said that souls emerge in the darkness,
embracing, exchanging love, and sharing
dreams, while bodies on beds rest. I
search for my moon amidst the chaos of
wishes; he listens to me, and together we
weave tales. He keeps my secrets, sending
my longing to loved ones afar. It’s
wonderful to live like the stars in this vast
sky, without quarrel. Oh, if only humans
understood that the earth is vast,
accommodating all, just like the sky.
