1. I have from my guests a platter,
As if it were a silken sheet,
١. عِندي مِنَ المَدعونِ صينِيَّةٌ
كَأَنَّها سُفرَةُ ديباجِ
2. Revealing colors you do not see,
Comparable in gems to a crown.
٢. تُبدي مِنَ الأَصباغِ ما لا تَرى
مِثلاً لَهُ في جَوهَرِ التاجِ
3. Of red gleaming in white
As if it were coral in ivory.
٣. مِن أَحمَرٍ يَلمَعُ في أَبيَضٍ
كَأَنَّهُ البَقَّمُ في العاجِ
