+'I fled from Basra, sad and tearful, with no idea where I was going,
+and I was reciting these lines:
+
+  The pain of parting makes me melt away,
+  As lovers do when those they love are harsh.
+  I wonder at the patience that I showed
+  When I had lost my love, for that was wonderful.
+  Beloved, do you know that since you left,
+  I have remained confused in misery.
+
+I then heard a voice that said: "Damn you, have you no fear of
+Almighty God that you hand over a girl to an unbelieving 'ifrit?"  I
+walked for a time amongst the palm-trees until I caught sight of a
+person, whom I approached.  When I asked him who he was he said: "I
+am one of the jinn who were converted to Islam at the hands of 'Ali
+ibn Abi Talib, may God ennoble him."  "How can I get to my wife?" I
+asked him, and he said: "Wretched fellow, you had a bird which you
+allowed to fly away and now you want to fly after it."  But he
+added: "Follow this road with God's blessing all night until dawn
+and then by the shore you will see a huge cave in which there is an
+idol made of white stone.  You must drink of the water that there is
+coming out of the cave and smear your face with its mud.  Stay there
+and a barge will pass you as you stand opposite the statue.  Various
+different creatures will emerge, heads without bodies and bodies
+without heads, and they will prostrate themselves in adoration to
+the idol rather than to Almighty God.  When you see that, embark on
+the barge and cross to the other bank and walk along it until
+sunset.  On a high point you will see a castle built of bricks of
+gold and silver.  That is where your 'ifrit will be.  I have now
+told you about this, so goodbye."
