1. للوَرْدِ حُسْنٌ وإِشْراقٌ إذا نَظَرَتْ

    إليهِ عَيْنُ مُحِبٍّ هاجَهُ الطّرَبُ

    The rose has beauty and radiance when beheld

    by the eye of a lover whom rapture has stirred.

  2. خافَ الملالَ إذا دامتْ إقامَتُهُ

    فصارَ يَظْهرُ حيناً ثُمَّ يَحْتَجِبُ

    It feared boredom if its stay grew long,

    so it took to appearing for a while, then hiding away.
