1. فديتكَ غصناً ليس يبرح مثمراً

    من الحسنِ في الدنيا بكلِّ غريب

    I would give my life for you, a bough forever fruitful,

    With every rare marvel of beauty in this world.

  2. تفتَّحَ في وجناتِه الوردُ أحمراً

    فيا ليتَ ذاكَ الورد كان نصيبي

    The rose blossomed red upon his cheeks;

    Oh, would that that rose were my share!
