1. Without turquoise's pride of hue
Among gardens over corals strewn;
١. وَلا زَوَردِيَّةٍ تَزهو بِزُرقَتِها
بَينَ الرِياضِ عَلى حُمرِ اليَواقيتِ
2. As though they were leaves that carry dew,
Dropped from the rose's early bloom.
٢. كَأَنَّها وَرِقاقُ القُضبِ تَحمِلُها
أَوائِلُ النارِ في أَطرافِ كِبريتِ
