تَبَسَّمَ زَهْرُ اللَّوْزِ عَنْ دُرِّ مَبْسَمٍ

وَأَصْبَح في حُسْنٍ يَجِلُّ عَنِ الوَصْفِ

The almond blossom smiled, revealing a string of pearls,

And in the morning its beauty was too great to describe.

هَلُمَّ إِلَيْهِ بَيْنَ قَصْفٍ وَلذَّةٍ

فإِنَّ غُصُونَ الزَّهْرِ تَصْلُحُ لِلقَصْفِ

Come to it amidst branches and pleasure,

For the branches of flowers are suitable for plucking.
