1. With an excuse my lips said, “His face is a garden,”
And it was adorned with the finest ornament in order to show off,
١. ومعذّرٍ بقلتْ حديقةُ وجهِهِ
وغدَتْ بأحسنِ حليةٍ تَتَبرّجُ
2. When the narcissus took center stage on his cheeks
Out of jealousy, his eyelids were tinged with violet
٢. لما توسّط وجنتيهِ نَرجسُ
حسداً تطرّفَ عارضيهِ بنفسجُ
