1. شَقائِقُ الرَّوضِ مِن نَسجِ الرّبيعِ غدَت

    تَحلو بِرَونَقِها الزَّاهي على الزهَرِ

    The garden's anemones, woven by spring, have come

    To outshine the flowers with their radiant splendor.

  2. كَأَنَّها كاسُ ياقوتٍ وتحملُها

    كَفُّ الزُّمرُّدِ إِذ تزهو على الدّرَرِ

    As though they were a ruby cup, borne

    By an emerald palm, shining proudly above the pearls.

  3. وَحينما اِمتَلأت خَمرَ النّدى اِلتَصَقت

    في وَسْطِها نقطةٌ من عنبرٍ عَطِرِ

    And when it filled with the wine of dew, there clung

    At its center a speck of fragrant amber.
