1. The nightingale never ceases its melodious singing,
It has filled the land as it calls out to the dawn with great effort.

2. When it became enraptured it shook its wings in rapture,
And stretched its voice as the neck stretches.

3. Like one wearing a bejeweled collar, with flowing sides,
The white flowers laugh from its black edges.

4. If my state with its imitation necklace were compared
To the roses, the roses' adornment would fall short.

5. Two earrings of ruby that attain for it
A sharpness beyond limit.

6. You would say this is the chieftain's necklace attributed
To the house of Chosroes on which the crown is fastened.

7. Or a knight who tightened his reins when he saw
The banner of his leader fastened for battle.

8. Reminding of his son, the cluster, when
The Pleiades told him of the cluster before dawn.
