1. With your cheek and heavenly gardens and their virtues
Cure the burning passions of your lovers and ease them

2. And allow the sending of slumber to an eyelid
That has granted its every drowsiness to your eyelids

3. O you who expose the fragrant branch with a stature
Whose tresses flutter over its bending

4. And who aims arrows from his eyes
That reached in my admiration to its fortresses

5. You forgot days in the greenness that were delightful
With the perfection of its joy over its kinds

6. And gardens of four and the redness of its roses
And the thickets of its rivers and the greenness of its trunks

7. By Allah a youthful era I spent
In its meadows and by my side its scale

8. And on the right side a house I substituted
Whose flats the dwarf-palm substituted from its jujube

9. I presented myself at it on horseback submitting
From the full moon of its sunrise and the edge of its threshing-floor

10. And I stayed long in contemplating its ruins but
The disheveled did not show affection to me in its homes

11. And I wish not your father was stingy in answering it
If a house informed him about its people
