    بحقيقة خضعوا لها بتلذُّذ

  7. ذاق المحب له حلاوة ذكره

    فبذكره لا بالحلاوة يغتذي

    whose lover has tasted the sweetness of remembering Him;

    so he is nourished by remembering Him, not by the sweetness.

  8. ذابت حشاشته ولم يدر السوى

    شوقاً إليه وما له من منقذ

    His life-breath melted, and he knew nothing else,

    out of longing for Him, and he has no rescuer.

    أبداً إليه سوى الهوى لم ينفذ

    That is the one enthralled by love; and his heart—

    nothing but love has ever entered it.

    عرفوا وإن لم يعرفوا روضٌ شَذِي

    whether they know or not, are a fragrant garden.
