Is it a cloud of the sky or smoke of fire

غيم سما أم دخان ند

1. Is it a cloud of the sky or smoke of fire
A drop yearned or water of roses

١. غَيْمُ سَما أمْ دُخانُ نَدِّ
قَطْرٌ هَمَى أمْ مِياهُ وَرْدِ

2. And here is a garden that appeared
To my eyes or gardens of eternity

٢. وهذِهِ رَوْضَةٌ تَجلَّتْ
لِناظِري أم جِنانُ خُلْدِ

3. Are its twigs flexile or rods
Adorned with its flowers like a necklace

٣. وقُضْبُها المُلْدُ أمْ قُدُودٌ
وَشَّحَها زَهْرُها بِعِقْدِ

4. And the nightingale of the garden, did it sing
Or a beautiful woman startled by a hunter

٤. وبُلبلُ الرَّوضِ ما تَغنَّى
أمْ غَادَةٌ رُوِّعَتْ بِصَدِّ

5. It aggravated what agonized the soul
And jokes often turned serious

٥. هاجَ عَلى النَّفسِ ما شَجاها
ورُبَّ هَزْلٍ أتَى بِجِدِّ

6. Nothing but my tears like rose petals
Though people are annoyed by tears on cheeks

٦. ما بِدَمي غَيْرُ خَدِّ وَرْدٍ
وإنْ دَهى النَّاسَ وَرْدُ خَدِّ

7. This existence intoxicated my mind
So the matter became confused to me

٧. أسْكَرَ هذا الوُجودُ عَقْلي
فاخْتَلفَ الأمْرُ فيهِ عِندي
