1. The singing of nightingales and the chorus of bulbuls,
The clapping of waves and the dancing of branches,

2. The joining of courtesies and the cutting off of coyness,
The extending of manners and the spreading of talents.

3. Why then does the garden not show us at its market
Where all kinds and arts abound?

4. Come let us trade in it, for it is useless
If it is not populated with customers.
