Sol 6.1

  1. إن غُلّقَتْ طيقانُ قُبّتي التي

    تُبْدي سَنا وجْهِ الصّباحِ المشْرِقِ

    If the windows of my dome are shut—those that

    Reveal the radiance of the shining morning’s face—

  2. فالزَّهْرُ أبدَعُهُ الذي بكِمامِه

    والمِسْكُ أعْبَقُهُ الذي لم يُفْتَقِ

    Then the loveliest of flowers is the one within its bud sheath,

    And the most fragrant musk is that which has not been split open.
