1. Don't you see the narcissus gazing at us
With looks of joy and coquetry
١. أَما تَرى النَرجِسَ المَيّاسَ يَلحَظُنا
أَلحاظَ ذي فَرَحٍ بِالعَتبِ مَسرورِ
2. As if its dark eyes in the beauty of its form
Were kohl pencils in camphor leaves
٢. كَأَنَّ أَحداقَها في حُسنِ صورَتِها
مَداهِنُ التَبرِ في أَوراقِ كافورِ
3. As if the dew dripping on it for its observer
Were tears welling from forsaken eyelids
٣. كَأَنَّ طَلَّ النَدى فيهِ لِمُبصِرِهِ
دَمعٌ تَرَقرَقَ مِن أَجفانِ مَهجورِ
