1. أَما تَرى شَجَراتِ الوَردِ مُظهِرَةً

    لَنا بَدائِعَ قَد رُكِّبنَ في قُضُبِ

    Do you not see the rosebushes displaying

    For us marvels that have been mounted on stems,

  2. كَأَنَّهُنَّ يَواقيتٌ يَطيفُ بِها

    زَبَرجَدٌ وَسطَها شَذرٌ مِنَ الذَهَبِ

    As though they were rubies encircled

    By chrysolite, with flecks of gold in their midst?
