1. With yearning that almost turns to lament
Stealing souls stealthily
١. وَذي حَنينٍ يَكادُ شَجواً
يَختَلِسُ الأَنفُسَ اِختِلاسا
2. When it neighbors the garden
The venue said "Do not touch"
٢. إِذا غَدا لِلرِّياضِ جاراً
قالَ لَها المَحلُ لا مِساسا
3. The flowers smiled when it cried
With tears never seen before
٣. تَبَسَّمَ الزَهرُ حينَ يَبكي
بِأَدمُعٍ ما رَأَينَ باسا
4. From every eyelid that draws a sword
Its scabbard became a chief
٤. مِن كُلِّ جَفنٍ يَسِلُّ سَيفاً
صارَ لَها غِمدُهُ رِئاسا
