1. لله في زمن الربيع وصائفٌ

    حفت بزهرة باقلاءٍ مبهجة

    How wondrous are the maidens in the season of spring,

    Wreathed in delightful broad-bean blossom!

  2. ولوت بمفلاقها عصابة لؤلؤٍ

    فكأن شمساً بالنجوم متوجه

    And each wound about her hair-parting a circlet of pearls,

    As though a sun were crowned with stars.

  3. وكأن أنملها حبتك بدرةٍ

    بيضاء مطبقةٍ على فيروزجه

    And as though her fingertips had bestowed on you a pearl,

    White, enclosing a turquoise gem.
