له ألفا قبل اطلاعي على حرف
When my lord’s gracious letter arrived, I set aside
I stood as my master arrived
A thousand kisses for it, before reading a single letter.
With a thousand greetings before I could utter a word
وقبلتهand I kissed it ألفاa thousand times وألفاand a thousand more فقالthen said ليto me
وقبلته ألفا وألفا فقال لي
غراميmy passion زدهincrease it واضربand multiply الألفthe thousand فيby الألفthe thousand
غرامي زده واضرب الألف في الألف
And I kissed it a thousand times and a thousand more; then spoke to me
And I greeted him a thousandfold in return. So he said to me:
My passion: “Increase it, and multiply a thousand by a thousand.”
"Increase my love and multiply a thousand by a thousand."
Sol 6.1
