حَولَنا خُرَّمٌ وَوَردٌ وَخيري

كَخَلوقٍ وَصَندَلٍ وَعَبيرِ

Around us, jasmine and roses and myrrh

Like sandalwood and ambergris and sweet scent

فَاِسقِنا قَهوَةً لَها زَعفَرانٌ

لَيسَ يُخليهِ الماءُ مِن كافورِ

Serve us coffee with saffron in it

That water cannot rid of camphor

فَكَأَنَّ الرُبى مَراتِبُ وَشيٍ

وَكَأَنَّ الرِياضَ بُسطُ حَريرِ

It's as if the countryside is layers of musk

And it's as if the gardens are brocade
