نسيم الصَبا حيّا الندامى من الزهرِ

براح الندى صِرْفاً فمالوا من السكرِ

The morning breeze greeted the repentant with flower scent

With the breeze of dew, so they swayed from sweetness

تُنقِّش كف الغصن في الروض عندما

تجلت عروسُ الراح في الحلل الخضرِ

It etched the palm of the branch in the garden when

The bride of the wind appeared in green garments

وفيِ الروض أمسى الجلنار كأنه

مباخر تبرٍ عودُها طيِّب النشر

And in the garden, the oleander was as if

It was aromatic aloes wood, its incense goodly dispersed

وحاكى السما لما صفا ماءُ جدول

وفيه خيال الزهرِ كالأنجم الزهر

And the sky emulated when the water of the stream was clear

And in it the reflection of flowers like shining stars

تراقصتِ الأشجار والريح قد غدا

يشبِّب لما صفّق الماء في النهر

The trees swayed and the wind had become

Flirtatious when the water clapped in the river

وأمسى المسا والغيم للبدر حاجب

وإشراف شمس الراح يغني عن البدر

And the evening and the clouds became a veil for the moon

And the rising of the breeze's sun made the moon unnecessary

عروس بدتْ من دَنها وهي تنجلي

كما تنجلي بِكر الزفاف من الخدر

A bride appeared from her tent as she shone

As a virgin bride shines shaking off her sluggishness

تَوقَّد في الكاسات نور شعاعها

ومن عجب ماء توقَّد كالجمر

In the goblets a light of her rays was kindled

And it is wondrous how water was kindled like embers

يطوف بها ساقٍ كحيلٌ عيونه

تناجي كليمَ الشوق بالغُنْج والسحر

Around her stalks a gazelle, its eyes

Converse with the confidant of passion using amorousness and magic

غزال رمتْ بالنبل أهدابُ جفنه

وكم صادتِ الآسادَ بالشَرك الشَّعر

A gazelle whose eyelash arrows shot

And how many prey the lionesses caught with the hair trap

إذا ما بدا كالصبح فَرْقُ جبينه

دعوت على عين العواذل بالفجر

When the separation of his forehead appeared like the dawn

I called for the eyes of the charmers to awake at dawn
