1. فَوقَ آسِ العِذارِ درٌّ بَدا مِن

    عرق الحِبِّ مُنعِش الأَنفاسِ

    Upon the myrtle of the cheek-down, pearls appeared from

    the beloved’s sweat, refreshing the breath.

  2. ثُمّ لمّا تَقاطَرَ الدّرّ قُلنا

    إِنّ هَذا الماء حبُّ الآسِ

    Then, when the pearls trickled down, we said:

    “Indeed, this water is myrtle berries.”
