1. The heart that does not awaken from passion and its toil
Finds comfort in the water lily.

2. The rose has become a servant to its fragrance
And the blue narcissus a servant to its master.

3. Oh, her beauty in a pool that has become
Filled with musk mixed with ambergris.

4. As if in it, when the morning breeze glanced,
It threw sleep away with its coolness.

5. Forsaken love that kept raising its head
Like one seeking refuge in his Lord from his rejection.

6. As if when he was absent at nightfall
In the water, and the brightness of his complexion faded.

7. A love struck one whom the beloved threatens with abandonment
Unjustly, so he sweated from his passion.
