وَنَرْجِسٌ لِلْنَّسِيمِ مُعْتَنِقُ

يَسْهَرُ طَبْعاً وَما بِهِ أَرَقُ

A narcissus embracing the breeze

Staying up by nature, not kept awake

كَأَنَّهُ وَالقَوامُ مُعْتَدِلٌ

وَفي المآقِي مِنْ عِطْرِهِ عَبَقُ

As if it and the slender waists were equal

And from its fragrance in the watering places, there was scent

أَجْفانُ دُرٍّ عَلَى ذُرى قَصَبٍ

تَقْطُرُ مِسْكاً وَما بِها عَرَقُ

Eyelids of pearls upon meadow reed stems

Exuding musk without a trace of sweat
