روض قد لألأ عسجده

وامال الزهر زبرجده

A garden has been adorned with beauty

With flowers of emerald and ruby

وفضاء تلمع فضته

ويشوق العيز زمرده

A space shimmers with its silver

Alluring the dear one with its emerald

ولريم تبؤ ساحته

فصنوف الورد توسده

Rime wanders in its yard

Where roses make her bed

ريم ما افتك ناظره

كم قد القلب مهنده

Rime did not avert her gaze

She has captivated many a heart

ولكم قد ذاب لرؤيته

بكاء الطرف مسهده

And how many have melted at the sight

Weeping eyes make her pillow

فبطرته وبغرّته

ليل قد لألأ فرقده

With her radiant face and smile

She outshines the glowing sun

وضياء لاح بمنظره

فالشمس لعمري تحسده

She brought my heart to life with her promise

If only she fulfills her vow one day

قد احيى القلب بموعده

لو ينجز حينا موعده

Oh you who broke a promise that delights me

A promise you still echo

يا مخلف وعد يطربني

وعد ما زال يردده

Your life and seeing your face

Revive your servant's languishing eyes

وحياتك وجهك رؤيته

في ناظر عبدك تثمده

How much you bring him near to torment

And keep him far from nearness

كم للتعذيب تقربه

وعن التقريب تبعده

You set him free in the yard of your abandonment

And bind him in the fetter of passion

وبساحة هجرك تطلقه

وبقيد الوجد تقيده

This love has made him miserable

When will union with you make him happy?

قد اشقى قنك هذا الهج

ر متى بوصالك تسعده

Your palm, Rime, has killed, so this

Is a heavy burden you have intended

رحماك قتلت كفاك فذا

وزر حرج تتعمده

And every tomorrow, Rime

Will repay what your hand has earned

وسيجزى كل يوم غد

يا ريم بما كسبت يده
