1. أحسن بها ناعورة في روضةٍ

    عن جعفر يروي الهناء ربيعها

    How lovely it is—a waterwheel in a garden,

    Whose spring recounts delight from a stream!

  2. هذا وليس يعدّ موج دموعها

    وتعد من فرط السقام ضلوعها

    All this, though the waves of its tears cannot be counted,

    And its ribs can be counted, so grievous is its sickness.
