1. I heard of my death, so I went to a garden
To visit its beauty and smell her cheek.
١. سَمِعتُ بِمُنيَتي ذَهَبتُ لِرَوضٍ
تَزورُ سَمِيَّها وَتَشُمُّ خَدَّهُ
2. I rejoiced, hoping to get a share from her,
Having paid the gardener his due.
٢. فَرِحتُ لِأَجتَني مِنها نَصيباً
وَقَد وَفَّيتُ رَبَّ الرَوضِ نَقدُهُ
3. He noticed my desire and said, "With me
Is your beloved, she often comes to this garden."
٣. فَلاحَظَ ما أَريدُ وَقالَ عِندي
جَميلَتَكُم بِهَذا الرَوضِ وَردُهُ
