1. ومضرج الوجنات تحسبها

    شفقاً تبسم عن دجى سبج

    And a crimson-cheeked one, whose cheeks you would think

    twilight smiling to reveal obsidian darkness.

  2. قانٍ يروقك حسن منظره

    فكأنما يسقى دم المهج

    Deep crimson, the beauty of its appearance delights you,

    as though it were watered with the blood of hearts.

  3. طعن الهموم بمايس خضلٍ

    صافي الأديم ومنظرٍ بهج

    It pierced sorrows with a swaying, dew-moistened form,

    clear-skinned, and with a radiant appearance.

  4. ويظل مبتسماً يضاحكه

    ما في ثغور النور من فلج

    And it keeps smiling, exchanging smiles with

    the gaps between the teeth of blossoms.
