1. اِنظر إِلى جانمِ خدّوجة

    وَنورِها الزاهرِ في غُصنها

    Look at Jānam Khaddouja,

    and its radiant blossom upon its branch:

  2. كأنّما هوَ وأَكمامه

    زمرّدُ الحسناءِ في أذنها

    as though it, together with its calyces,

    were a fair woman's emerald in her ear.

  3. أثقَلَها حتّى اِكتست حمرةً

    زادَت بِها حسناً إِلى حسنها

    It weighed her down until she donned a blush,

    through which she gained beauty beyond her beauty.
