Sol 6.1

  1. Its sides are admired for marvels that

    Spring has never once bestowed upon a garden.

  2. It concealed its fragrances, but when it was tortured

    By fire, its fragrant breeze spread, and it confessed.

  3. And it is as though the most august king, the lord al-

    Mansur, ʿAdud al-Mulk, Taj al-Dawla,

  4. Had kindled its censers with the fire of his brilliance,

    And the smoke rose to the height of his ambition.
