1. The flowers unfold what they enfolded
Their unfolding makes the clouds rain
١. الزَهرُ يَنشُرُ ما طَوى
مِن نَشرِهِ سَحُّ السَحابِ
2. And the drops are camphor within
Scattering for the musky mist
٢. وَالقَطرُ كافورٌ بِهِ
طُرَرٌ لِمِسكِيِّ الضَبابِ
3. So enjoy she who is peerless
Save to molten gold in semblance
٣. فَاِجلُ الَّتي ما إِن لَها
شِبهَ سِوى الذَهَبِ المُذابِ
4. As long as the coat of mail of water
Is clasped by bubbles' helmets
٤. ما دامَ دِرعُ الماءِ قَد
حَفَّت بِهِ خُوَذُ الحَبابِ
