جَانِبُ المِرْسَمِ مَسَّتْهُ لَظىً

وَهْيَ بِالتَّصْويرِ عَنَّهُ تَشْتَغِلْ

The heat of the canvas overwhelmed her

As she busied herself with portraying it

فَانْثَنَتْ تُطْفِئُهُ هَلاَّ رَأَت

حَوْلَهَا كَمْ مِنْ قُلُوبٍ تَشْتَعِلْ

She bent to extinguish it when she saw

Around her so many hearts set ablaze
