1. وَنبّئتُها يَوماً أَلَمّت بِجَنَّةٍ

    تَنَزّه طَرفاً في الأَزاهيرِ وَالخُضَر

    And I was told that one day she visited a garden,

    to delight her gaze among the flowers and greenery.

  2. فَأَبصَرَ رَبُّ الباغِ رُمّانَ صَدرِها

    فَقالَ اِطرَحيهِ عَنكِ يا لِصَّةَ الشَجَر

    Then the garden's owner saw the pomegranates of her bosom,

    and said, "Cast them away, you thief of the trees!"

  3. فَناداهُ نورُ الجِلّنارِ بِخَدِّها

    كَذَبتَ فَهَذا النُورُ أَطلَعَ ذا الثَمَر

    Then the pomegranate blossom on her cheek called to him:

    "You lie, for this blossom brought forth this fruit!"
