1. نَرْجِسَةٌ لَمْ تَزَلْ مُحَدِّقَةً

    لَمْ تَكْتَحِلْ قَطُّ لَذَّةَ الغُمْضِ

    A narcissus has never ceased to stare,

    Never once has it lined its eyes with the delight of closing them.

  2. أَمَالَها القطْرُ فَهْيَ باهِتَةٌ

    تَنْظُرُ فِعْلَ السَّماءِ بِالأَرْضِ

    The rain has bent it, so it is bewildered,

    Watching what the sky does to the earth.
