1. وروضةٍ رَضيت عن

    صوبِ الحيا المُستَمّرِ

    And a garden, pleased with

    the unceasing downpour of rain,

  2. فأظهرت نَورَ نَيلو

    فَرٍ مُنيرٍ أَغرِّ

    then brought forth the blossom of a water-

    lily, radiant and dazzling white,

  3. كمِحبَرٍ من لُجينٍ

    فيهِ بقيّةٌ حِبرِ

    like an inkwell of silver

    with a remnant of ink within it.
