Sol 6.1

  1. ظَبيٌ يَتيهُ بِوِردِهِ في خَدِّهِ

    خَدٌّ عَلَيهِ غَلائِلٌ مِن وَردِهِ

    A gazelle who glories in the rose upon his cheek—

    a cheek draped in fine veils of its roses.

  2. ما كُنتُ أَحسِبُ أَنَّ لي مُستَمتَعاً

    في قُربِهِ حَتّى بُليتُ بِبُعدِهِ

    I had not thought there was delight for me

    in his nearness, until I was afflicted by his distance.

  3. لا شَيءَ أَحسَنُ مِنهُ لَيلَةَ وَصِلنا

    وَقَد اِتَخَذتُ مَخَدَّةً مِن خَدِّهِ

    Nothing was lovelier than he was on the night of our union,

    when I had made a pillow of his cheek,

  4. وَفَمي عَلى فَمِهِ يُسامِرُ ريقَهُ

    وَيَدي تَنَزَّهُ في حَدائِقِ جِلدِهِ

    and my mouth upon his mouth conversed by night with his saliva,

    and my hand strolled through the gardens of his skin.
