O you who ask me to forbear
O you who ask me to be patient,
from kissing his mouth—do not ask!
Do not forbid me from sipping the sweet honey,

بالصبرِ عنْ ذاك العسلْ
Have you no shame in giving me
Why do you make me shy away
bitter patience instead of that honey?
From exchanging patience for that honey?
