And indeed, out of agonizing longing, I offer
Though I do pine and yearn incessantly
to you, whether the dwelling is far or near,
For you, nearer or farther though you be,

تناقص بعد الدار واقترب المغنى
though yearnings grow whenever
My longing seems to grow immensely
the distance to the dwelling lessens and the abode draws near,
As the distance to your abode diminishes and the return draws nigh

سلاماً كنشر الروض باكره الحيا

وهبت عليه نسمة السحر الأعلى
a greeting like the fragrance of a garden visited at dawn by rain,
Greetings like the fragrance of the meadows at dawn
and over which an early predawn breeze blew.
When the morning breeze wafts gently by

So it came with musk-scented air, adorned
Bringing to me the sweet musk of love
with some of the virtues of that most exalted assembly.
And traces of that sublime gathering on high
