كالمسك واللون المزعفر افتنا
The beloved scattered flowers upon me; their fragrance
My beloved scattered flowers over me
Was like musk, and their saffron hue was enchanting.
Like musk, their purple hue enchanted me

والعرف منه قد حكى طيب الثنا
For their color mirrored the gifts of his palm,
Their color mimicked the palm of his hand
And their fragrance echoed the sweetness of praise.
And their fragrance told of his sweet caress
