1. I was reminded of flowers, so they reminded me
Of my eloquence, beauty, and youth

2. Three things that were the blessings of nights
Today they have become despair and estrangement

3. A brother in Egypt reciprocated loyalty
With sincerity like his nature, meaning and goodness

4. If days gather us together again
We will attain, through flowers, the object of desire

5. And youth has gone, so it was as if
We changed from gray hair to dye

6. I lied to myself about it with myself
Fearing that time would say "a youth"

7. If you ramble reluctantly in metaphors
Take fiction and leave truthfulness
