1. You mock me, though she is a myrtle bending down,
If she sees the branches heavyladen,
١. تُهزِىءُّ مِّني وهي رودٌ طَلَهْ
إن رأت الأحناءَ مُقفعِلَّهْ
2. She says, “I see the pollen has turned it gray,”
While the myrtle is moistened from our fountain's spray.
٢. قالت أرى شَيْبَ القَذال احتلَّهْ
والورد من ماء اليَرَنا حَلَّهْ
