1. O you whose scent is fragrant, though from burning embers,
Anxiety endures, every stubborn malady fails.
١. يا من تطيب وهو من حرق استه
قلق يكابد كل داء معضل
2. The torrents have failed, we never knew them to cease,
Since the torrents of al-Fayshil ceased to flow.
٢. فشل الصيال وما عهدنا دبره
مذ كان يفشل عن صيال الفيشل
3. And I see him in the glorious books an ascetic,
Skilled only in the book of the Introduction.
٣. وأراه فى الكتب الجليلة زاهدا
لا يستجيد سوى كتاب المدخل
4. I kissed him and licked his mouth, a Muslim,
The kiss of a friend on the mouth of the veiled friend.
٤. قبلته ولثمت فاه مسلما
لثم الصديق فم الصديق المجمل
5. He approached me in that place and said:
I sacrifice myself for a passionate lover,
٥. فدنا الى على المكان وقال لى
أفديك من متشوق متغزل
6. If you truly kiss me, then quench my thirst
With your tongue in my mouth from below.
٦. ان كنت تلثمنى بحق فاسقنى
بلسان بطنك فى فمى من أسفل
