وشادنٍ قد بكى عشقاً فأعجَبني

بنرجس صبّ ماوَرداً على وَردِ

A lover wept, to me the weeping's like

Narcissus raining dewdrops on a rose

كأنَّ أدمعَهُ والعينَ تسفكُها

درٌّ وهى فَهَوى من جانب العقد

As if his tears, that from his eyes outbreak,

Were pearls, and from a necklace's strand they flowed
