Let there be whatever rose you wish,

3. His brilliance made radiant those nearby,
His beauty left those who saw him swooning,
٣. وَصَدغ كَالهِلال بَدت

4. For his narcissus gardens emptied of their narcissi,
When gazed upon his narcissistic eyes.
٤. وَمشن صَهباهُ مُصطَبِحي
وَمِن لَمياهُ مُغتَبِقي
٥. بِنَرجسه الحَدائق مِنهُ
نَفدي نَرجس الحدق
