O beloved, the breeze is a guest that comes knocking

ياحبذا والطيف ضيف طارق

1. O beloved, the breeze is a guest that comes knocking
A breeze on parched land that found a place to rest

١. ياحَبَّذا وَالطَيفُ ضَيفٌ طارِقٌ
طَيفٌ عَلى شَحطٍ أَجَدَّ مَزارا

2. The north winds twist it into a rod now and then
Granting it the fragrance of lilies there to spread

٢. تَلوي الشَمالُ بِهِ قَضيباً رُبَّما
عاطى بِسوسانٍ هُناكَ عَرارا

3. So I kissed what I had kissed, a cheek that would pour
From lips with wine, wine in ceaseless pour

٣. فَلَثَمتُ فيما قَد لَثَمتُ عَلاقَةً
خَدّاً يَسيلُ مَعَ العُقارِ عُقارا

4. I did not know when I enjoyed that kiss
If it was Paradise or flames that met my eyes

٤. ما إِن دَرَيتُ وَقَد نَعِمتُ بِلَثمِهِ
ماذا رَأَيتُ أَجَنَّةً أَم نارا
