1. وروضة بات طل الغيث ينسجها

    حتى إذا نسجت أضحى يدبجها

    And a garden that the rain's dew spent the night weaving,

    Until, once woven, it began embroidering it in the morning.

  2. إذا تنفس فيه ريح نرجسها

    تاغى جي خزاماها بنفسجها

    When the fragrance of its narcissus breathed through it,

    Its violets murmured among its lavender [wording uncertain].

  3. أقول فيها لساقينا وفي يده

    كأس كشعلة نار إذ يؤججها

    I say there to our cupbearer, while in his hand

    Is a cup like a flame of fire as he kindles it:

  4. لا تمزجنها بغير الريق منك وإن

    تبخل بذاك فدمعي سوف يمزجها

    Do not mix it with anything but your saliva; and if

    You are stingy with that, my tears will mix it.

  5. أقل ما بي ن حبيك أن يدي

    إذا دنت من فؤادي كاد ينشجها

    The least of what I suffer from loving you is that my hand [wording uncertain],

    When it nears my heart, my heart almost makes it sob.
