1. When he got dressed, his black turban
Became green with love's dye.
١. لما التحى أصبحت عمامته ال
سوداء تجلى مخضرة الحبكِ
2. He started swaggering, acting gentle
With a nature not of harshness or aloofness.
٢. وصار يختال أن يلين بخلق ال
خز عن ردفه أو الفنك
3. Each day we see him with his waist wrapped
In the garden, between the enclosures and the pools.
٣. في كل يوم تراه مؤتزراً
بالروض بين الحياض والبرك
4. We did not know he was a moon
Until he wore a piece of the celestial sphere.
٤. وما علمنا بأنه قمر
حتى اكتسى قطعة من الفلك
