You know well the bazaar of the southern desert
The finest wares available in the land
You will find there almonds, big and brown as eyes
But there are finer almonds yet~
At my house~
Come only after dark.

You know well the bazaar of the southern desert
The finest wares available in the land
You will find there silk, as thick as black tresses
But there is finer silk yet~
At my house~
Come only after dark.

You know well the bazaar of the southern desert
The finest wares available in the land
You will find there roses, red and fragrant against your lips
But there are roses finer yet~
At my house~
Come only after dark.

Penned by my hand on the 23rd of Scarlatan, in the year 443 AF.
