1. Do not forget a promise between us that has come near
And avoid the excuse, for in the excuse is perdition

2. And hurry to us while the East whitens with sweetness
We strive toward a garden of play and amusement

3. A garden that leads the soul to enchantment
In it, the vegetables have come with wonders

4. A delight to the eye and a cure for aridity
In it, the light seems frightened in the glare

5. Or a nest of birds that fell on the branches
In the shade of a fruitful sidr, close to the ground

6. In it are kinds of birds in tumult
When the winds shake those branches

7. It presents us with a foretaste of gold
