1. My yearning for the fleeting time
Between Al-Khuwairnaq and As-Sadir

2. When we were in the chambers of paradise
Floating in an ocean of delight

3. With youths who possessed the qualities
Of eagles in defying fate's spite

4. Nothing but courageous hearts
Unrestrained by passion's plight

5. Passing around a silver goblet
Of the purest grape juice bright

6. A maiden raised by the rays
Of the sun in the heat of the Hijr

7. Untouched by any fire, unstained
By the smoke of cooking pots

8. And a server walking with grace
Before the group proud in his attire

9. With a bottle extracting the
Secrets of the soul entire

10. A radiant flower like a starry pearl
In the hand of fate's player

11. She leaves the noble and knows not
What destiny holds in its reins

12. And singers after performed odes
Adorned with rings 'round their waist chains

13. Of shy gaze and cheeks aflame
Houries of paradise terrains

14. Reveling in bounty immersed
In perfumes of sweetest rains

15. Swaying in robes of splendor
Silks and satins mundane

16. Only seeing the sun through
The shade of curtain terrains

17. To God's honest trustee we fled
From fate's calamities and chains

18. And to Him we lamented our plight
At dawn and dusk complains

19. Cheeks shuddered as if they
Were the wings of eagles in flight

20. Draped in shadows across
The easy and arduous terrains

21. Until He brought us to
The Lord of cities and domains

22. Who was still an infant
In the days of yore temporal
