Introduction
This short poem carries the message that Man’s good deeds would last for ever, even after the sun and the stars would cease to exist, i.e. even after the Day of Judgment.
Translation
The dawn’s star was weeping and saying this
"I got the eye but not the leisure for Sight
Everything has come to life through the sun’s energy
Only I did not get protection under the morning’s skirt
After all what is the capacity of the dawn’s star
It is like bubble’s breath, like the spark’s brightness"
I said "O beautiful jewel of the dawn’ s forehead
Do you have fear of death? Come down from the sky
Drop down from the sky’s height with the dew
My poetry’s field will be invigorating to you
I am the gardener, Love is its bloom
Its foundation is firm like eternity
