1. When hardship befalls my guests
I have delicacies like book covers

2. As though when he comes out from hiding
Like the cell of a bee, white and hollow

3. Filled with almonds from what was drunk
And soaked from what years were spent therein

4. And the rose water entered it and vanished
And disappeared into the sugar from us and was veiled

5. So it is layered upon it, layer over layer
Arranged like the pages of books

6. When one sees it and his heart flutters from it
Nothing is sweeter than to see him stealing it away

7. Everyone finds their pleasure in what they love
