1. The scent of perfume and the sweet morning breeze,
The pleasure of drinking wine with friends so dear,

2. No garden has charmed with blossoms like these,
That delight the soul when soft winds appear,

3. A beautiful gazelle on a branch is seated,
Leaving her fawn as night falls drear,

4. If only the wine-seller could hear her words,
He'd be enthralled and give up his old wine so clear,

5. Dearer than a threaded pearl necklace,
Used by Ibrahim to cure minds sincere,

6. The learned, skilled, eloquent scholar,
Of vast knowledge, an elegant poet peer,

7. His sea never murky with dull pearls,
Except made brilliant by writings clear,

8. More pleasing than the scent of wild rose,
Are his gentle glances and words so dear,

9. No gazelle parted from her fawn,
Or captive in an enemy’s hands austere,

10. Is less patient than I, driven from you,
By fate spiteful and time insincere,

11. O perfect in nobility, flowing in munificence,
With abundant fortune, graceful and sincere,

12. You are but a sword, the lofty's blade,
The polished sword, glinting bright and sheer,

13. May God keep you with us forever,
A Kaaba of grace, no ruin comes near,
