1. Slender like a branch when he saw
My smoldering breaths rise
١. وأهيَفٍ كالغصن لما رأى
تصاعد الأنفاس من حرقي
2. He handed me a rose
As if plucked from his radiant cheek
٢. ناولني من يده وردة
كأنها من خده المشرقي
3. So people would think in their ignorance
That it was but a whiff I had taken
٣. لكي يظن الناس من جهلهم
بأنها أنفاس منتشقِ
