قالوا حبيبك قد تضوع نشره
حتى غدا منه الفضاء معطرا
They said, “Your beloved’s fragrance has wafted abroad,
until all the air grew perfumed by him.”
فأجبتهم والخال يعلو خده
أو ما ترون النار تحرق عنبرا
I answered them, while the mole sat high upon his cheek:
“Do you not see that fire burns ambergris?”
