1. وأهديتَ لي منكَ الغَداةَ مُرَكبّاً

    غَدَوْتُ لَهُ إذْ جاءَني مُتَعَجِّبا

    And this morning you sent me a compound as a gift;

    I became astonished at it when it came to me.

  2. بَسيطٌ مِنَ الماءِ القراحِ بَعَثتَهُ

    فَوا عجباً منه بسيطاً مُرَكبا

    What you sent was a simple substance of pure water—

    so, what a wonder it is: simple, yet compound!
