لم انتشق طول ليالي النوى

لم انتشق طول ليالي النوى

طبا سوى ذكرك وهو الشذي

طبا سوى ذكرك وهو الشذي

Throughout the nights of separation, I never inhaled

I did not stay awake during long nights of grief

Any remedy save remembrance of you, so fragrant.

Except remembering you, my only remedy.

والورد معشوقي وفي طيبه

والورد معشوقي وفي طيبه

تجنيس وردين وأنت الذكي

تجنيس وردين وأنت الذكي

The rose is my beloved, and in its fragrance

The rose is my beloved, and in its fragrance

There is a pun between two roses—and you are discerning.

Are two roses entwined, and you are the wiser.
