1. وافى الرَبيع الطَلق غَب الحَيا

    وَقَد بَدا وَجه الرُبا في اِبتِهاج

    Cheerful spring arrived after the rain,

    And the face of the hills appeared joyful.

  2. وَاِبتَسَم الوَرد فَكادَت لَهُ

    تَمزّق الراح قَميص الزُجاج

    And the rose smiled, so that for its sake

    The wine almost tore its shirt of glass.
