1. Look, the anemones have begun to smile,
Giggling above a smooth, slender stem,
١. انظرْ فقد أَبْدَى الأَقاحِي مَبْسِما
يَفترُّ ضَحْكا فوقَ قَدٍّ أَمْلَدِ
2. Like polished pearls whose bodies were refined,
Arranged around a sunflower's golden head.
٢. كفُصوصِ دُرٍّ لُطِّفَتْ أجرامُه
وتَنظَّمتْ من حولِ شَمْسةِ عَسْجدِ
