How wondrous a garden, in whose grove we alighted before dawn!
For God a garden we entered at dawn
And the rose shines, and the branches lean.
The roses shone and the branches swayed

وسمتهand I asked him for الوصلunion فاحمرّتso it reddened منfrom الخجلbashfulness
وسمته الوصل فاحمرّت من الخجل
As though it were the beloved’s cheek when he appeared
As if it were the beloved's paradise when it appeared
And I asked him for union, so it reddened with bashfulness.
Its mark was unity, so it blushed from shyness
