1. I gazed upon a male dove in a garden's center
Yearning for the sweetest of chains on a freshwater spring,
١. نَظَرتُ إِلى مُكّاء وَسط حَديقَةٍ
عَلى عَذبٍ يَرنو لِأَعذَبِ سَلسَلِ
2. As I saw him wandering through the garden
Suddenly he was struck down by the claws of a predator.
٢. فَبَينا تراهُ رائِداً في رِياضِها
إِذا هُوَ مَصروعٌ بِمَخلَب أَجدَلِ
