1. أما تراه ومَرّ الريح يعطفه

    كأنه زعفران فوق كافورِ

    Do you not see it, as the passing wind bends it,

    as though it were saffron atop camphor?

  2. إذا بدا في اختلافٍ من محاسنه

    أراك كيف اختلاط النار بالنور

    When it appears in the contrast of its beauties,

    it shows you how fire mingles with light.
