1. And a bouquet struck a sky above us
Dewy, and the stars' cups revolve
١. وَأَراكَةٍ ضَرَبَت سَماءً فَوقَنا
تَندى وَأَفلاكُ الكُؤوسِ تُدارُ
2. A stream wrapped in its basin a galaxy
It scattered its flowers-stars over it
٢. حَفَّت بِدَوحَتِها مَجَرَّةُ جَدوَلٍ
نَثَرَت عَلَيهِ نُجومَها الأَزهارُ
3. As if it and as if its water's stream
A beauty tightened around her waist a belt
٣. وَكَأَنَّها وَكَأَنَّ جَدوَلَ مائِها
حَسناءُ شُدَّ بِخَصرِها زِنّارُ
4. Crystal bubbled with a drunk bride
Illuminated, and the branches' lights scatter
٤. زَفَّ الزُجاجُ بِها عَروسَ مُدامَةٍ
تُجلى وَنُوّارُ الغُصونِ نِثارُ
5. In a garden, the wings of night are shade in it
And lights materialized into light in it
٥. في رَوضَةٍ جِنحُ الدُجى ظِلٌّ بِها
وَتَجَسَّمَت نَوراً بِها الأَنوارُ
6. A singer spreads his clothes'-seller's ostentation for me
In it, and his perfume-seller's musk splits open
٦. غَنّاءَ يَنشُرُ وَشيَهُ البَزّازُ لي
فيها وَيَفتُقُ مِسكَهُ العَطّارُ
7. Singing stood up in it, and the dew had poured
The earth's face, and the lights woke up
٧. قامَ الغِناءُ بِها وَقَد نَضَحَ النَدى
وَجهَ الثَرى وَاِستَيقَظَ النُوّارُ
8. And the water is adorned with the life's bashfulness' jewelry
Its trees draped their pockets over it
٨. وَالماءُ مِن حَليِ الحَياءِ مُقَلَّدٌ
زَرَّت عَلَيهِ جُيوبَها الأَشجارُ
