ورَوْضٍ كَساهُ الغَيثُ إذ جادَ أرضَه

ورَوْضٍ كَساهُ الغَيثُ إذ جادَ أرضَه

مَجاسِدَ وَشْيٍ من بهارٍ ومَنثورِ

مَجاسِدَ وَشْيٍ من بهارٍ ومَنثورِ

And a garden the rain clothed, when it watered its soil generously,

A garden the rain has clothed when its land was generous

in dyed brocaded robes of daisies and stocks.

Corpses of withered plants from blossoms and fragrance strewed

به أبيضُ الوردِ الجَنيِّ كأنَّما

به أبيضُ الوردِ الجَنيِّ كأنَّما

تَبسَّمَ للناشي بمِسكٍ وكافورِ

تَبسَّمَ للناشي بمِسكٍ وكافورِ

Within it, the fresh white rose seems

In it white roses smile as though

to smile at whoever breathes its scent, with musk and camphor.

They grinned at the walker with musk and camphor imbued

كأنَّ اصفراراً منه فوقَ ابيضاضِهِ

كأنَّ اصفراراً منه فوقَ ابيضاضِهِ

بُرادةُ تِبرٍ في مَداهنِ بَلُّورِ

بُرادةُ تِبرٍ في مَداهنِ بَلُّورِ

As though its yellow hue, above its whiteness,

As if a yellowness on it above its whiteness

were gold filings in crystal ointment jars.

A lampshade of amber in vessels of pearl
