Claude 2

  1. إِذا سَقى اللَّه رَوضَةً مَطراً

    فَخصَّ بِالسقي كُلَّ نيلوفر

    When Allah waters a garden with rain

    And singles out every water lily for watering

  2. تستر أَوراقه زمرُّدةٌ

    ليلاً وَعندَ النَّهار لا تستر

    Its leaves are cloaked in emeralds

    At night and in the day they do not cloak

  3. خافَت عَلَيهِ اللُصوص فَاشتملت

    عَلَيهِ لَيلاً مِن خَوف أَن يظهر

    Thieves feared for it so they wrapped

    Themselves around it at night fearing it would appear

  4. إِذا الزّنابيرُ مِن مَغالقهِ

    لَم تَتحفظ فَبينها تُقبَر

    When the bees from their hiding places

    Did not take precautions between them they are buried

  5. كَأَن أَجفانهُ جُفون الَّذي

    أَهواه لا تَستَطيع أَن تَسهر

    As if its petals were the eyelids of one

    Who loved and could not stay awake

  6. كَأَنَّها كوس فضةٍ فُرِشَت

    قِيعانها بِالزمردِ الأَخضر

    As if they were a silver chalice inlaid

    With emerald green bases

  7. تَنعم في حُسنِهِ وَنكهتهِ

    فَأَنت في مَنظر وَفي مخبر

    Delighting in its beauty and aroma

    So you are in the sights and in the news
