    O my paradise, O my finely adorned hope.

    فراجمه فتَّش وبرعمه أورقْ

    In its delight, it plucked its flowers and gathered them.

    It opened its flower buds, and its bud put forth leaves.

    It strangled the night's blackness and tedium.

  13. سلامتك حبيبي سلامه

    Be well, my beloved, be well.
