May the copious, pouring rain never disappoint the myrtle.
My soul does not despair though my brow is bent with grief,
For it is faithful, while every blossom is treacherous.
For He is faithful, though all the light be a cheat.

اذا أبدا تمر منه ونوار
The lover’s soul nearly bears fruit from joy
The hearts of the steadfast well-nigh fruitful grow,
when fruit and blossoms appear from it.
When the fiery test rages and the torment is great.

As though the rainclouds had clothed it in green finery,
As though clad by the morn in a green robe decked
whose buttons are of musk and camphor.
With ambergris and musk for its trimming made.
