1. يا مهدي النرجس أهديته

    ذا مقل ما أخطأت مقلتي

    O giver of narcissus, you presented it to him—

    to one endowed with eyes; my own eye did not err.

  2. أهديته أشبه شيء بها

    في شدة الحيرة والصفرة

    You gave him the thing that most resembles them

    in their utter bewilderment and pallor.
