1. وَنَرجِسٌ مِثلَ أَكَفِّ خُرَّدِ

    دُرنَ عَلَينا بِكُؤوسِ الذَهَبِ

    And a narcissus, like the palms of bashful maidens

    Who circled among us with cups of gold—

  2. ناوَلَنيهِ مِثلُهُ في حُسنِهِ

    فَحَلَّ في قَلبِيَ عَقدَ الكُرَبِ

    One its equal in beauty handed it to me,

    And loosened the knot of sorrows in my heart.

  3. مُبتَسِمٌ عَنهُ وَناظِرٌ بِهِ

    هَذا لَعَمري عَجَبٌ في عَجَبِ

    He reveals it in his smile and gazes with it—

    This, by my life, is a wonder within a wonder!
