فالوذج يمنع من نيله

ما فيه من عقد وانضاج

Its model prevents it from attaining

What it contains of knots and ripening

يسبح في لجة ياقوته

للوز حيتان من العاج

It swims in the sea of its rubies

For almonds whales of ivory

كأنما أبرز من جامه

ثوب من اللاذ بديباج

As if it had brought out from its cup

A garment of bliss embroidered
