1. The sandalwood tree's shade stayed where repentance advanced
Nor did the pure gatherings cease to adorn its presence
١. وَعودٍ صَفا النَدمانُ قِدماً بِظلِّهِ
وَما بَرِحَت تَصفو لَديهِ المَجالسُ
2. The doves of the sanctuary fell in love with its greenery
And their feathers yearned for it even when withered
٢. تَعشَّقهُ طَيرُ الأَراكةِ أَخضَراً
وَحَنَ إِلَيهِ ريشُهُ وَهوَ يابِسُ
