ورَوضَةٍ راضَها النَّدى فَغَدَتْ

لَها مِنَ الزَّهْرِ أَنْجُمٌ زُهْرُ

A garden refreshed by the dew, it became

Adorned with flowers like twinkling stars

تَنْشُرُ فيها يَدُ الرَّبيعِ لنَا

ثوباً مِنَ الوَشْيِ حاكَهُ القَطْرُ

Spring spreads there, weaving for us

A green robe knitted by the rain

كأَنَّما انْشَقَّ مِنْ شَقائِقِها

عَلى رُباها مَطارِفٌ خُضْرُ

As if slits split from its daisies

Over their cheeks, green veils

ثُمَّ تَبَدَّتْ كأَنَّها حَدَقٌ

أَجْفانُها مِنْ دِمائِها حُمْرُ

Then it appeared as if it were an eye

Whose eyelids were red from its tears
