A greeting to the beloveds, unfurled by the east wind,
A greeting to the loved ones, unfurled by the east breeze,
Greetings to loved ones, whom youth makes bloom
Peace be upon the beloveds, unfurled by the Zephyr,
as breath releases the fragrance of pure musk.
as a breath releases the scent of fragrant musk.
As pure, sweet musk’s first breath perfuming a room
Just as breathing diffuses the scent of pure musk.

May they be watered by rain, till life among them puts forth leaves
Send rain so that their lives grow green and fair
May rain showers water them until life there blooms into leaf,

Adorned in silk, bright clothes, gossamer wear
And struts proudly in ornaments and robes of silk brocade.
سَواءalike عَليّto me اللَيلnight وَالصُبحand dawn بَعدَهُمafter their departure
سَواء عَليّ اللَيل وَالصُبح بَعدَهُم
وَلَوand if بِتُّI spent the night فيهِمamong them لَاِنجَلىwould surely lift كُلُّevery حندسِdeep darkness
وَلَو بِتُّ فيهِم لَاِنجَلى كُلُّ حندسِ
Night and dawn are alike to me after their departure;
Night and dawn are alike to me in their absence;
To me, night and dawn after them are the same
Night and morning are alike to me in their absence,
but if I passed the night among them, every darkness would clear.
and were I to spend the night among them, all deep darkness would lift.
Among them, all gloom vanishes without shame
Yet had I stayed among them, every darkness would have cleared.

Their radiance is my lamp, and their cheeks my anemones;
Their radiance is my lamp, and their cheeks my anemones;
Their image is my lamp, their cheeks, my red flowers
Their radiance is my lamp, and their cheeks my red anemones,
those bewitching Babylonian eyes are my narcissi.
and those Babylonian eyes are my narcissi.
Their eyes like Babylonian stars are my bowers
And those Babylonian eyes are my narcissus.

I asked the lightning’s flash to carry my message
I asked the lightning's flash to carry my message
I asked lightning to carry my letter swift
I asked the lightning's flash to bear my message
to a coquettish one who gives me hope, then makes me despair.
to a coy charmer who gives me hope and makes me despair.
To one long hoped for, though ever my hopes drift
To a coquettish one who tempts with hope, then deals despair;

It journeyed late at night, driving my tears toward the beloved precinct,
It traveled in the deep of night, driving my tears toward the sanctuary,
It sped, mimicking my tears to fever’s heat
It traveled at midnight, driving my tears toward the sanctuary,
and portraying to my eye a smile of bright teeth and dusky lips.
and mirroring, to my eye, a mouth with cool, sweet teeth and dusky lips.
And told my eyes of lips like sweet berries, a treat
Mimicking to my eye the gleaming smile of cool, dark-hued lips.

I raised my gaze toward the pure gold of his cheek,
I lifted my gaze toward the pure gold of his cheek,
I lifted my eyes toward his cheek’s apricot
I raised my glance toward the pure gold of his cheek
hoping to grow rich; it said, “Return rich—like a pauper,”
to grow rich; then he said, “Return rich, like a pauper,
So he’d make me rich, but he said “Empty, begot”
Seeking wealth, but he said: "Return, rich as a bankrupt man,"

Stripped of patience, clothed in illness’s decay
"Stripped bare of patience, clothed in sickness."

On a silver plate smooth as silk to the touch
Upon a smooth expanse cast from molten gold.

And thoughts of them in the darkness my friend
And their memory, in the gloom of night, is my sole comfort.
