A young gazelle strolled through the mosque’s courtyard today.
In the mosque's courtyard walked Shadan today
The boughs of the sandhill’s bān trees praise his stature.
Bending are the boughs of narcissus on his stature

So I said, as sweetness shone upon him:
I said, as sweetness shone on him,
Ah, then look at this sweetness in the courtyard!
"Look at this sweet one in the courtyard!"
