A greeting of love illuminates his face,

سلام له وجه من الحب ناضر

His gaze with the eye of heart and soul observing.

ولحظٌ بعين القلب والروح ناظرُ

In the garden of my secret, from which flowers diffused their fragrance.

بروضة سرّي منه فاحت أزاهر

Abundantly recurring, about you and for you.

إليكم وعنكم وافرٌ متواتر

4. It defies enumeration and counting for its excess
And overflows the pages if recorded in notebooks.

وأن تحمل المعشارَ منه الدفاتر

5. My affection is evident, and my secret matches it,
For you, to be revealed when hidden thoughts are laid bare.

لكم وهو يبدو يوم تُبلى السرائر
