1. إِنّ السّماءَ غَدَت تَزهو بِزُرقَتِها

    فيها الكَواكبُ دونَ البدرَ وَالقَمرِ

    Indeed, the sky has come to glory in its blueness;

    Within it are stars, but no full moon or moon.

  2. رَوضٌ نَضيٌر تَزاهى فيهِ نَرجِسُهُ

    بَينَ البَنَفسَجِ أَهدى قرّةَ البَصرِ

    A lush garden, where its narcissus displayed its splendor;

    Among the violets, it offered delight to the eye.
