يا مهدياً يا سميناً حول سوسنةٍ

في باقةٍ من خلاف حشوها الآس
O you who offer jasmine around a lily,
O plump Mahdia, around a lily
In a bouquet of willow filled with myrtle,
In a bouquet of disagreement, stuffed with alas

في الياسمين بلاغ لو قنعت به

إذ كان أول شيء في اسمه الياس
Jasmine would have sufficed, had you been content with it,
In jasmine, there is eloquence, if you are content with it
For the first part of its name was “despair.”
Since the first thing in its name is despair
