1. I see the peach trees donned new clothes,
Kindled into flame, I deemed them torches.

2. Clad in yellow robes I mistook them for brides,
Whenever the eye glimpsed them midst meadows.

3. In a garden, no sooner its carpets appeared
To a viewer, than partridges hailed them.

4. Dewdrops on it glide, when it thrills with joy,
The thrills make the slumbering dewdrops dance.

5. I spent my youth reveling with my friends,
Trailing the tail of my youth and its wiles.

6. The sessions of the Hashimi king have lasted
Till his summit rivaled a star in stature.

7. You see him with no peer to rival his worth,
As if for each limb he has a competing limb.

8. Corridors thronged with glory and generosity,
And achievements turned into deep-cut wonders.

9. Say to his rivals, has a footman ever
Rivaled the noble horseman in exploits?
