وحدائقٍ خُضْرِ المعاطِفِ أُلْبِسَتْ

منْ حُسْنِ بهجتها ثيابَ زبرجد

Gardens clad in green cloaks were dressed,

With robes of emerald for their beauty's sake.

زَرَّتْ عليها الشمسُ فَضْلَ ردائها

فبدا زَبَرْجَدُهُنَّ تحتَ العسجد

The sun cast off its garment's train upon them,

Beneath the blossoms their emerald did wake.
