Do you not see how the sun’s temper has softened,
Do you not see how the sun’s temper has softened,
Do you not see the sun unveiling her face?
and how the trees and boughs have put forth leaves?
And the trees and boughs have put forth leaves?
The trees have donned their green coats, the branches their blossoms.

والنرجس الغضّ قد حانت مقاطفه

The tender narcissus—its blossoms are ready for gathering,
And the tender narcissus blooms are ready for plucking,
The tender narcissus is ready to be plucked,
as though they were eyes without eyelashes.
As though they were eyes without lashes.
Like eyes without kohl.

As though it were silver rising above an emerald,
As though it were silver rising above an emerald,
Like silver topping an emerald,
green—from which a pupil of gold smiles.
Green, from which a golden pupil smiles.
From which a gilded glance smiles.
