1. لوْ لمْ تكُنْ في فُصولِ العامِ حاضِرَةٌ

    بهِنّ تُتْحَفُ أبْصارٌ وأسْماعُ

    Were they not present in the seasons of the year,

    regaling eyes and ears,

  2. لقُلْتُ ورْدٌ منَ الأيْدي لَها شجَرٌ

    ومن أنامِلِهنّ الخَمْسُ أقْماعُ

    I would say: roses, with hands for their trees,

    and their five fingertips for calyxes.
