أصبحتِ الدنيا تروق مَنْ نظرْ

بمنظرٍ فيه جلاءٌ للبصرْ

The world becomes beautiful to anyone who looks

With a look that gives clarity to sight

واهاً لها مُصطنعاً لمن شكر

أثنتْ على الله بآلاءِ المطر

Alas, it is artificially made up for anyone who is thankful

She praised God for the blessings of rain

فالأرض في روضٍ كأفواف الحِبَر

نيّرةُ النُّوار زهراءُ الزهَر

So the land became a garden like ink wells

Radiant, blossoming flowers

تبرجت بعد حياءٍ وخفر

تبرُّجَ الأُنثى تصدّت للذكر

She came out coyly after modesty and reserve

The female adorned herself and confronted the male
