1. Many a lily I have kissed feigning love
Yet their fate was naught but the scattering of musk
١. ورُبَّ سوسنَةٍ قبلتُها كَلفاً
ومآلها غيرُ نَشرِ المِسكِ منشوقِ
2. Yellow at the center, white at the edges
As though a lover in the embrace of the beloved
٢. مُصفرّةِ الوسطِ مَبيَضٌ جوانبُها
كأنّها عاشقُ في حِجرِ معشُوقِ
