1. I was thrilled, yet you weren't thrilled in that thrilled moment
And how can I be infatuated with a sixty year old gray-haired man
١. طَرِبْتُ ولم تَطْربْ على حين مَطْرَبِ
وكيف التصابي بابن ستَّينَ أشيبِ
2. And what urged you to yearn was the weeping of a dove
Cooing over delicate twigs of ebony
٢. ومما حداك الشوقَ نوحُ حمامة
أرنَّتْ على خُوطٍ من البانِ أهدبِ
3. Adorned, crying, never before had I seen
What appeared, appeared from her lament without being stripped away
٣. مطوَّقةٍ تبكي ولم أرَ قبلها
بدا ما بدا من شجوها لم تسلَّب
