1. A rose in his hand, its fragrance wafts,
As it blooms, I'd give my soul for its gardens,
١. وَردَةٌ في يَدَيهِ تَنفحُ عِطراً
وَهيَ تَزهو فَديتها بِجناني
2. The apple of my cheek amidst some hair
Where I had placed strands of saffron
٢. وَجنَةُ الخودِ وَسطها بَعض شعر
أَلصَقته فيها مِنَ الزّعفرانِ
