1. لما رأى الزهرُ الشقيقَ انثنى

    منهزماً لم يستطعْ لمحهُ

    When the flowers saw the anemone, they turned away,

    Defeated, unable to look at it.

  2. قلنا على رسلِكَ قال اسكتوا

    جاءَ شقيقٌ عارضاً رمحَهُ

    We said, 'Easy now!' They said, 'Be silent!

    Shaqiq, the anemone, has come, brandishing his spear!'
