1. Arise and wed the son of mist to the daughter of basil,
And let your witnesses be roses and nasturtiums.

2. The orator of the birds proclaimed from his pulpit,
“Fly to the breeze between the two gardens!”

3. And the wind stretched its train upon the branches
As a flowing robe, expressing gentleness and pliancy.

4. The meadow escorted the bride of flowers in her robes,
Displayed between embroidery and coloring.

5. Does the dew write without intuition or conjecture
On the pages of the garden’s books?

6. The shadow playing on the cheek of the pond related
Musk scattered on leaves of myrtle.

7. So take the maiden whose cheek is adorned with love
Like pearls of precious pearl concealed.

8. Along with a maiden whose camphor, if revealed,
Would shame the sun in the chamber of union.
