Here she found Heyat en Nufous seated; so she sat down by her and clapping her on the back, caressed her and kissed her between the eyes, repeating the following verses: The secret that I cherished my tears have public made; The wasting of my body my passion hath bewrayed. I hid my love and longing; but on the parting-day My plight, alas! revealed it to spies; 'twas open laid.
And he bethought him of his former estate of honour and consideration and wept and repeated the following verses: Home is no longer home to me, now ye are gone away, Nor are the neighbours neighbours now, after our parting-day, The comrade, whom I loved whilere, no more a comrade is, And even the very sun and moon' no longer bright are they.
Among these women was none like her, and she felt her difference and isolation. Her past life, as a lady, was still remembered, and caused her to be set aside as one apart.

If thou recall me not to mind beyond our parting-day, God knows the thought of thee with me for ever shall remain! Thou smitest me with cruel words, that yet are sweet to me: Wilt thou one day, though but in dreams, to look upon me deign? I had not thought the ways of Love were languishment and woe And stress of soul until, alas! to love thee I was fain.
"The day of parting cut my heart in twain:* In twain may Allah cut the parting-day! And she spake also this couplet, "I pray some day that we reunion gain, * So may I tell him Parting's ugly way." The antelope sorrowed with great sorrow, but dissuaded the peahen from her resolve to remove from the island.
