1. And the spirit of a vision passed gently, arousing me,
Banishing the disquiet of my soul when it knocked,
١. وربَّ طيفٍ سرى وهْناً فهيَّجني
نفَى طَوارقَ همِّ النَّفسِ إذْ طرقا
2. As though Ridwan had left his neck exposed in his sleep
And, stolen from Paradise because of this gentleness, had fled.
٢. كأنَّما أغفلَ الرّضوانُ رِقْبتَهُ
وَهْناً ففرَّ من الفردَوسِ مُسترِقا
