يا مَن يُحاصر وَجده في نَفسِهِ

وَيُحاذر الرَقباء أَن يتَنَفَسا

O you whose anguish besieges his own soul

And who fears eavesdroppers when taking a breath

زَفرات همِّك قَد أَصابَت فُرصة

فَخَرَجنَ لَما أَن شَمَمنا النَرجِسا

The sighs of your worries have found an opportunity

So they came out when we smelled the narcissus
