1. They said: "Break off your love ties with him."
I said: "Why? It's my pride that I love him."
١. قالوا التَحى فَاِقطَع عُرى عِشقِهِ
فَقُلتُ لِمْ فَخرِيَ أَن أَعشَقَهُ
2. I craved him, while my cheek bore no embroidery
To match the brocade of his shining beauty.
٢. هَوَيتُهُ وَالخَدُّ مِنهُ بِلا
طَرزٍ لِديباجَتِهِ المُشرِقَه
3. So how could I break away now ambergris is his breath
And his silver has turned to a burning fire?
٣. فَكَيفَ إِذ عُنبِرَ كافورُهُ
وَأَصبَحَت فَضَّتُهُ مُحرَقَه
