1. In gardens of sorrow I buried my grief
And heard the cooing of doves describing it
١. ورياضِ محنيةٍ دفنتُ بها الأسى
وسمعتُ تغريد الحمام ووصفهُ
2. And saw a supple branch above its pond
Bend its shoulder in pleasure of the melodies
٢. ورأيت غصنَ ألبان فوق غديرها
من لذَّة النغماتِ يثني عطفهُ
3. As if a valiant horseman of battle's din
Fixed his spear in the earth and cast his cloak
٣. فكأنَّ فارس بهمةٍ سيم الوغى
ركزَ القناةَ بها وألقى زغفهُ
