1. تَزايَدَ بي وَجدي بِحُسنِ شَقيقةٍ

    على ساقِها المُخضَرِّ قامَت وَصبوتي

    My ardor grew at the beauty of an anemone,

    Standing on its green stem—and so did my yearning.

  2. كَفُنجانِ ياقوتٍ بِكَفّ زُمرُّدٍ

    تضمّ وَصبَّت فيهِ نقطةَ قَهوةِ

    Like a ruby cup in an emerald palm,

    Which clasps it and has poured a drop of coffee into it.
