1. لَبِسَ الأَصِيلُ مُلاَءَةً مُوشِيَّةً

    بِنُضَارِهِ وَزُمُرُّدِ الأَوْرَاقِ

    Late afternoon donned an embroidered mantle,

    With its gold and the emerald of the leaves.

  2. وَوَشَى النَّسِيمُ بِسِرِّ أَزْهَارِ الرُّبَى

    هَلْ مِنْ كُؤُوسِ مَسَرَّةٍ يَا سَاقِ

    And the breeze divulged the secret of the hills’ blossoms.

    Are there any cups of joy, O cupbearer?
