1. تَصوغُ لَنا كَفُّ الرَبيعِ حَدائِقاً

    كَعَقدِ عَقيقٍ بَينَ سِمطِ لَآلي

    Spring's hand fashions gardens for us,

    like a necklace of carnelian amid a strand of pearls;

  2. وَفيهِنَّ أَنوارُ الشَقائِقِ قَد حَكَت

    خُدودَ عَذارى نُقّشَت بِغَوالي

    and in them the anemone blossoms have mirrored

    maidens' cheeks painted with rich perfumes.
