1. Branches of trees for the birds to quarrel in
As if gems of light were scattered about in it
١. ذُرى شجرٍ للطَّيْرِ فيهِ تَشاجُرُ
كأَنَّ صُنُوفَ النَّوْرِ فيهِ جَواهِرُ
2. As if bulbuls and nightingales were between us
Singing, and leaves on branches were curtains
٢. كأَنَّ القَمارِي والبَلابِلَ بَيْنَنَا
قِيانٌ وأَوراقُ الغُصُونِ سَتائِرُ
3. We drank coffee to that singing
As if pearls circled its edges
٣. شَرِبْنا على ذاكَ التَّرَنُّمِ قَهْوَةً
كأَنَّ عَلى حَافَاتِها الدُّرَّ دَائِرُ
