خَجَل الوَرد مِن جَوارِ البَهارِ

فَمَشى بِاِحمِرارِهِ في اِصفِرارِ

The rose was shy in the presence of spring

So it walked with its blush amidst the yellow

وَحَكى الماءُ فيهِما أَحمَرَ اليا

قوتِ حُسناً مُرَصَّعاً بِنَضارِ

And the water told of the two a red tale

Of beauty adorned with blossoms

جُمِعا بِالكَمالِ في بِركَةٍ تُم

تعُ حُسنا نَواظِرَ الحُضّارِ

United in perfection in a pond that gathered

Beauty that pleases the sights of civilizations

أَضرَمَ الماءُ بِالشَقيقِ بِها النا

رُ وَعَهدي بِالماءِ ضِدَّ النارِ

The water reddened with anemones, so

The fire swore by the water, its opposite

فوجدنا أخلاق سيدنا الزهْ

رذَكاءً تُربى عَلى الأَزهارِ

Thus we found the manners of our master Al-Zahr

Brilliance nurtured on flowers

ظَلَّت مِنهُ وَمِن نَداماهُ لِلأُن

سِ نَديمَ الشُموسِ وَالأَقمارِ

It remained, from it and its dew, for people

The companion of suns and moons
