1. The tender carnation with its petals gleams,
Its sweet fragrance has perfumed the dawn.

2. It appeared in a market whose leaves were moist with dew,
Eyes were affixed to it in awe.

3. It seemed as though the birds had tongues within it,
Their tender tips like little chicks.

4. Towards its emerald necklace they reached,
Perplexing thoughts in describing it.

5. As though it had meadows for the nightingale,
With pillars for it to build its nest.

6. Green kohl adorns it for wheat spikes,
Perfuming the earth a sweet scent.

7. In each one a flower captivates you,
As though it were made of sculpted silver.
