1. The promise of the island, I do not forget throughout my life
The covenants of revelry during the days of my youth

2. When I recall the nights on the foothills in the mountains of Al
Jundi, my tears flow copiously

3. I caroused with every maiden, swaying gracefully like a bough of myrtle
And in the monastery of Kamool, every fulfilled one

4. Is like the sun, though he is called the sunburnt one
When we visited him alive with an essence of delight

5. His breath extends its sweet fragrance through our breath
He hastens, and his guidance in the dark years

6. Suffices him instead of carrying a lantern and torch
He did not guide us to it with fire in the darkness

7. Except the lantern, the cup and the poetry
