أطيب العيش منزل

فيه روض وجدول

The sweetest life has a home

With a garden and a stream

وسقاة أولو نهى

وكؤوس تَنَقَّل

And servers of fine manners

Passing cups that gleam

ومغنّ وعازف

وهَزار وبلبل

A singer and a musician

Jests and chatter's din

وحبيب يحبني

ورقيب مغفل

A lover who loves me

And a keeper unaware
