1. You see his cheek amidst the soft down and pearl beads
It has a scent more fragrant than musk and ambergris
١. تَرى جيدَهُ بَينَ الغِلالَةِ وَالعِقدِ
لَهُ نَكهَةٌ أَذكى مِنَ المِسكِ وَالنَدِّ
2. The branches lean towards their brother
And you would think it a mouth approaching a cheek
٢. تَميلُ الأَقاحي مِنهُ نَحوَ شَقيقِهِ
فَتَحسَبُهُ ثَغراً تَقَرَّبَ مِن خَدِّ
3. When rain beats down heavily on its trees
You see rose buds on their branches
٣. إِذا اِقتَصَّ مِن أَشجارِهِ الغَيثُ عاتِقاً
رَأَيتُ عَلى أَغصانِها غَدرَةَ الوَردِ
