1. The embers of Hamzah's love will not cool in my heart
Will his wine not grant me the joy of union?

2. I send the returning caravans greetings scented
with musk - nay, more fragrant than musk -

3. For my friend the son of Abdullah, whose perfection
and noble traits humble the heights

4. Whose words are to me strung pearls, well-ordered
And whose nature is musk, heated, ambergris
