إن كنت تلغز في شيءٍ فإن لمن

إن كنت تلغز في شيءٍ فإن لمن

أهواه قداً وقد أزرى على البان

أهواه قداً وقد أزرى على البان

If you speak in riddles about anything, then the one

If you err in one thing, for the one I love

I love has a figure that has put the bān tree to shame.

There is protection and strength in the meadows.

فقل نسيم الصبا أضحى لقامته

فقل نسيم الصبا أضحى لقامته

ثانٍ وليس لها في لينها ثانِ

ثانٍ وليس لها في لينها ثانِ

So say: the east wind’s breeze has become, for his stature,

Say the morning breeze became for his figure,

that which bends it; yet in its suppleness it has no equal.

A second, and for its softness there is no second.
