هذا الفؤاد بلي بأح
سَن من حلي
This heart was smitten by one fair—
—er than anyone arrayed
فوق المنابر والمزا
هر والغلائل والحلي
upon minbars and lu—
—tes, in sheer robes and jewels.
فإذا وقفت على الريا
ض الزاهرات الغزّلي
And when I paused beside the gar—
—dens, radiant in bloom, the lovers were
تحت الغياض المسبلا
ت ثمارها بتهدّل
beneath dense groves that let
their fruit hang drooping;
والماء يجري تحتها
بترَسّل وتسلسُل
while water flows beneath them,
gently, in unbroken succession.
وسألت عنك فقد قصد
ت وكن أدل عليّ لي
And I asked after you, for I had sought—
—you. Be more coy with me—for my sake.
