I remembered you when I smelled the apples,
I remembered you with the apple when I smelled it
And in the wine when it met the drinkers’ faces.
And with the wind when I faced the drinking
تَذَكَّرتُI recalled بِالتُفّاحِin the apples مِنكِof you سَوالِفاًcheeks

وَبِالراحِ طَعماً مِن مُقَبَّلَكِ العَذبِ
In the apples I recalled your cheeks,
With the apple I remembered conversations with you
And in the wine, a taste of your sweet lips.
And with the wind the sweet taste of your kiss
