لمّا بَدا بَرَدى تَجودُ فروعُه

بين الرياضِ دَعى إلى التشبيهِ

When its branches began to be generous with their coldness

Among the gardens, it prompted comparisons

فكأنّه فيها سبائك فضَّةٍ

وكأنّها قِطَعُ الزَبرْجَدِ فيه

As though within them were ingots of silver

And as though they were pieces of emerald in it
