1. جَواهِرُ عُشبٍ وَنورٍ نَظيمٍ

    وَأَفرادُ ظِلٍّ وَقَطرُ نَثيرِ

    Jewels of grass and blossoms strung together,

    And isolated patches of shade and scattered raindrops;

  2. فَمِن بَينِ صُفرٍ وَحُمرٍ وَخُضرٍ

    عَلى القُضبِ غيدٍ وَزورٍ وَصورِ

    Among them, yellow, red, and green,

    Upon supple, bent, and leaning stems;

  3. وَلَعسٍ تُناسِبُ لُعسَ الشِفاهِ

    وَبيضٍ تُعارِضُ بيضَ الثُغورِ

    And dusky ones matching the dark hue of lips,

    And white ones rivaling the whiteness of teeth;

  4. نَواظِرُ مِن بَينِ يَقظى وَوَسنى

    وَنُجلٍ وَخُزرٍ وَحولٍ وَحورِ

    Eyes, some wakeful and some drowsy,

    And wide, narrow, crossed, and dark against white.
