وأشجار نارنج كأنّ ثمارها

حقاق عقيق قد ملئن من الدُرِّ

And orange trees, as if their fruit

Were garnets filled with pearls,

تطالعنا بين الغصون كأنّها

خدود عذارى في ملاحفها الخُضرِ

Peer at us through the boughs as though they were

The green-wrapped cheeks of bashful girls.

أتت كل مشتاق بريّا حبيبه

فهاجت له الاحزان من حيث لا يدري

Each longing soul is brought his loved one here -

Sorrows awakened that they do not know.
