1. Who can match that crushed tabarzad
And that peeled soft almond

2. When semolina dough is kneaded with water
And scent of musk is kneaded into perfume

3. Its ingredients are combined and unified
Into a substance that contains every delicacy

4. Then strain it like a fine cloth that faces
The horizons at daybreak

5. We have not seen clove trees like your well-groomed
Ones, pasturing on their rightful land

6. What heart is not infatuated with it
What glance is not tempted by it

7. You went away from me, so my fortune went away
With that gone, you are no longer suited for me

8. I have nothing of it left except that whenever
Its memory refreshes, I choke on my saliva
