1. The anemones and ranunculus
A face with the palm of beauty embroidered
١. شَقائِقُ النُّعْمان والباقِلا
وَجْهٌ بِكَفِّ الحُسْن قد رُقِّشا
2. As if it were a garden trimmed
And above it a veil that has been woven
٢. كأنَّ هذِي وَجْنَةٌ خُمِّشَتْ
وذا عِذارٌ فَوْقَها قَدْ وَشَى
3. The beholder of light in it is a beholder
Who tries to discern what was embroidered
٣. وناظِرُ النَّورِ بها ناظِرٌ
يَرومُ أنْ يُبصِرَ ما خُمِّشا
