1. كم ليلة بت في بستان في لوَّانْ

    ملون البسط فيه والهوى لوّانْ

    Many a night I spent in a garden in Lawwān.

    The carpets within it are colorful, and love is a colorist.

  2. والله لي حافظ ينفي الردى صوّانْ

    وزند عشقي قدحْ قلبي له صوّانْ

    And God is my guardian, warding off death, a steadfast protector.

    And my passion's fire-striker struck sparks; my heart is its flint.
