بُعثنا مِنَ الارنج ماطابَ عَرفُهُ

وَنمَّت عَلى الأَغصانُ مِنهُ نَوافِجُ

We were sent orange blossoms with pleasing fragrance

And on the branches bloomed from it white flowers

كُراتٍ من العقيان أُحكِمَ خَرطُها

وَأَيدي النَدامى حَولهنَّ صَوالِجُ

Like buttons of pearls, well strung

With hands of lovers reaching out like bracelets
