1. The garden is like conversations and cheeks
And the flowers are like stranglings and necklaces
١. الرَوضُ مِثلَ سَوالِفٍ وَخُدودِ
وَالزَهرُ مِثلَ مَخانِقٍ وَعُقودِ
2. And betrayal, its knives have flashed
Between horns and covenants
٢. وَالغَدرُ قَد لَمَعَت جَواشِنُ مائِها
ما بَينَ بوقاتٍ وَبَينَ بِنودِ
3. And the flute is like the flute in this hand of his
And the lute in this hand is like the lute
٣. وَالنايُ مِثلَ النايِ في يَدِهِ هَذِهِ
وَالعودُ في يَدِ هَذِهِ كَالعودِ
4. So relax for the temper has strung its beads
A crown for the parting of the daughter of the cluster
٤. فَأَنعَم فَقَد عَقَدَ المِزاجُ حَبابَهُ
تاجاً لِمَفرِقِ إِبنَةِ العُنقودِ
