1. وَالوَردُ في إِزرارِهِ فوقَ الغُصو

    نِ تَهُزُّهُ ريحُ الشَمائِلِ وَالقُبولِ

    And the roses, in bud upon the boughs,

    swayed by the north winds and the east wind,

  2. كَأَحِبّةٍ ضَمّوا المَباسِمَ وَاِنثَنوا

    لِتَبادُلِ القُبُلاتِ في وَقتِ الشَمولِ

    are like lovers who pressed their lips together and leaned

    to exchange kisses at the hour of wine.
