فأوّلُ ما يبدو فَخلقُ سبيكةٍ

مُخلصةٍ بيضاء أتقنها السَّبكُ

First it appears like a creation of pure

White silver, perfectly crafted by the maker

بَنَت نَفسَها فوقَ الزُّمرّذِ واقفاً

فلاحت كمثلِ الدِّر ضمنهُ السِّلكُ

It built itself above the bracelet standing

Shining like a pearl embraced by a wire

جنى سُوسَن لولا سنا بشراتهِ

لما زيّنَ الأفواهَ تغرّ ولا ضحكُ

It plucked a lily, if it weren't for the brightness of its complexion

It wouldn't have adorned smiling mouths or laughter
