1. ووردٍ جَنيٍّ طالَعَتنا خدودهُ

    بنشرٍ وبشرٍ يبعثان على الشكرِ

    And a freshly picked rose—its cheeks appeared before us

    With fragrance and cheer that inspire gratitude;

  2. وحفَّ ترنجانٌ بها فكأنها

    خدودُ العذارى في مقانعها الخُضر

    And lemon balm encircled them, as though they were

    Maidens’ cheeks within their green veils.
