وورد بُسْتانِ قحابية

رَتَّبَهُ الحسن بِنَوْعَيْنِ

Roses of the thorny garden

Arranged by Al-Hasan in two kinds

ظَاهِرُها مِنْ قَشْرِ يَاقوتَةٍ

بَاطِنُها مِنْ ذَهَبٍ عَيْنِ

Its exterior from ruby crust

Its interior from purest gold

قَبَّلْتُها حُبّاً لها إِذ بِها

حَيّانِيَ البدْرُ على عَيْنِ

I kissed it, loving it, while through it

The full moon brought me back to life

كأَنَّها خَدّي عَلى خَدِّهِ

يَوْمَ اجْتَمَعْنا غَدْوَةَ البَيْنِ

As though it were my cheek on his cheek

The day we met at the break of morn
