1. إِنَّ شَهْرَ الصِّيامِ إِذْ جاءَ في فَصْ

    لِ رَبيعٍ أَوْدى بِحُسْنٍ وطِيبِ

    Indeed, when the month of fasting came in the season

    of spring, it did away with beauty and fragrance.

  2. فَكَأَنَّ الوَرْدَ المُضَعَّفَ في الصَّوْ

    مِ حَبيبٌ يَمْشي بِجَنْبِ رَقيبِ

    So the double-petaled rose during the fast seemed

    a beloved walking beside a watcher.
