1. وَشَقائِقٌ نَقَشَ الرَبيعُ ثِيابَها

    فَبَرَزنَ بَينَ مُكَحَّلٍ وَمُجَسَّدِ

    And anemones whose robes spring patterned

    Then emerged, kohl-darkened and dyed crimson,

  2. كَالخَدِّ يَصبُغُهُ الحَياءُ بِحُمرَةٍ

    وَجَرى عَلَيهِ الدَمعُ خُلطَ الإِثمِدِ

    Like a cheek that modesty colors with a blush,

    And tears flowed over it, mingled with antimony kohl.
