And one day we plucked every flower for pleasure,
The day we plucked each flower for pleasure,
And on that day we drank every cup of fellowship;
And drank each cup of companionship,
وفزناand we attained بأنواعwith kinds of السرورjoy وكيفand how لاnot
وفزنا بأنواع السرور وكيف لا

وفى جنة عينى وفى بهجة نفس
And attained all kinds of joy—and how could we not,
And won all kinds of joy - how could we not?
With my eye in a paradise and my soul in delight?
In the garden of my eyes, the delight of my soul.
