1. The garden's time is elegant time,
and the life of retirement is a gentle life.

2. Time has joined the two states,
So who will awaken, and who will rouse?

3. O you who are my bliss and longing,
And who truly loves me,

4. Make use of the heedlessness of events for us -
for the face of events is weak.

5. Take a glance of your eye and blend it
in the meadows of the garden; you’ll find them yearning.

6. You see combined beauty in singles -
of great virtues in it are delicate.

7. When the blossoms encounter the blossoms of cheeks
where is salvation and where is the path?

8. A springtime, radiant, jealous over,
A narcissus and caring chamomile.

9. One a fervent anxious lover
and one is shy and so is the lover.

10. Seductresses carrying dew drops so these are pure pearls and that is agate.
Its leaves string its pearls

11. and that which cannot carry it, it sheds,
The breeze tilts its branches –

12. some are wild and some are awakening.
And a day its curtains are clouds

13. embroidered by its flashes of lightening.
The sun remains shaded by it

14. as if your sunshine there is total darkness
We made incense its smoke

15. And from sparks in it, there are fires
We bowed to the crucifixes of its shedding

16. As the basil vindicated us on it.
Near trees elevating their veils

17. For the running of streams – in it are gasps.
As if their wavy curls

18. on the temple of water have rents in it.
And we said, by it and by the morning light,

19. on the ambergris of dawn are prints.
Take around, o youth, cups of wine,

20. or else a glance and saliva will suffice for you!
Urge the dawn for the time of morning

21. For the one with ample worries in it feels straitened.
