She said, while the garden smiled at her torment

قالت معذبتي والروض مبتسم

1. She said, while the garden smiled at her torment,
And the light of her life gazed at it,

١. قالت معذبتي والروض مبتسمٌ
لها ونور محياها يناظره

2. "Is this the bliss whose nightingale is in the branches,
Or have you attained what is in the chalice of the wine?

٢. أللنعيم الذي في الدوح بلبله
وافيت أم للذي في الساق طائره

3. So I said, by Allah, o garden of sweetness, you have not
Attained save to one in whose saliva is Kauthar.

٣. فقلت واللَه يا روض الملاحة ما
وافيت إلّا لمن في الريق كوثره

4. With breasts like pomegranates, glances like narcissi,
Cheeks like apples, and moles like ambergris."

٤. والنهد رمانه واللحظ نرجسه
والخد تفاحه والخال عنبره
