1. A virgin bud from the garden's daughters
Hastened to bloom though not yet her season
١. حَيَّتْكَ بِكْرٌ من بَنا
تِ الروْضِ أعْجَلَها ابْتِكارُ
2. Thus the spring flowers did not yet yellow
She came foretelling the approach of spring
٢. طَلَعتْ لِغَيْرِ أوانِها
فَلِذاكَ ما اصفرَّ البَهارُ
3. Adorned with myrrh, veiled in modesty
As though a cheek girt round with perfume
٣. جاءَتْكَ مُنْبِئَةً بإقْ
بال الرَّبيعِ لَها ابْتِدار
٤. مَحْفُوفَةً بالآسِ مِنْ
هُ على مَحاسِنِها خِمارُ
٥. فَكأنَّها ما بَيْنَهُ
خَدٌّ أحاطَ بِهِ عِذارُ
