| I asked a yellow crocus: -Where do you spend the winter? -Why are you asking this o dervish? I spend the winter underground I asked a yellow crocus: -What do you eat underground? -Why are you asking this o dervish! I eat morsel of strength I asked a yellow crocus: -Why is your face yellow? -Why are you asking this o dervish! I bear the fear of God I asked a yellow crocus: -Do you have a mother or father? -Why are you asking this o dervish! My mother is the ground and my father is the rain I asked a yellow crocus Its stem was in its hand It spoke the words of the Lord This crocus was some kind of dervish A Sultan among the brave Its face was full of divine light Having with a white beard This crocus was some kind of dervish
