لا زلت بالورد مفتوناً مدى زمني

وفيه نزهة عيني وانتشا رمقي
May I remain enamored of the rose throughout my life;
I'm still enamored with roses for so long
In it lie my eye’s delight and my spirit’s exhilaration.
In them is the delight of my eyes and the spread of my gaze
ومنand from تضرمthe blazing أشواقيmy longings إليهfor it إذاwhen

ماemphatic particle غابit vanished عنfrom ناظريmy sight استغنيتI contented myself بالعرقwith the distillate
ما غاب عن ناظري استغنيت بالعرق
And because my longings for it burn, whenever
And the one whose absence makes my longing for him kindle
It vanishes from my sight, I content myself with the distillate.
When he's gone from my sight, his fragrance suffices me
