1. In the secret of whoever saw my dwellings
The gazelles play, grazing freely

2. Adorned by the mist of the Tigris coast
Through which the meadow flowed, going far and near

3. Gardens of paradise, of similar delight
The rolling of eyes towards them, of eager viewers

4. Of similar, matchless beauty
Peerless forms, none can peer them

5. Three like the coats of gazelles, splendid
No likeness but the coats and the viewers

6. Raised by Romans and Ghassanids
Suleiman and Aamir nursed them

7. To be admired whenever a suitor converses
A composer astounds, a poet excels

8. When the pens flow about them eloquently
The pages of books appear flowery

9. What you convey to me reminds me
Of addresses of the living, though they are gone

10. With the return of melodies, as if their yearning
Is what I remember of the traces of your glory

11. And distracts me from the magic that is in their eyes
Chasing them in the air coquettishly, as if they are

12. Doves swooping down
Cranes gliding with joy, and I

13. Warn them against what spoils joy
And if their daggers are unsheathed

14. I make them into dispersing clouds
And if one of their riding camel owners stands up

15. It is Keyvan or Bahram
Informing me that I have realized

16. I am grateful for the good you have done for me
And you are linked to bliss

17. Which accompanies your prosperous command
And you are greeted by me every day

18. With a greeting the travelers use as they march on
Signaled by a rising star in the horizon

19. And returned to me by you, whatever sets from sight
