1. مرَّ النّسيمُ عَلى الأَغصانِ ساكِنَةً

    وَراحَ عَنها وَأَشذى العطر يكتَسِبُ

    The breeze passed over the branches while they were motionless,

    And left them, gathering the sweetest perfume.

  2. جَرَّ النّسيمُ عَليها ذَيلَهُ فَغَدَت

    تَميلُ بِالجَرِّ منهِ ثمَّ تَنتصبُ

    The breeze dragged its hem over them, so they began

    To sway under its pull, then stand upright.
