قَضيبُ البانِ فَاِعتَبَرا
The movements of his figure were seen
He saw the movement of her figure,
By the bān bough, which learned from them.
The willow wand took heed.

وَكَم جَهِدَ النَسيمُ بِهِ

And how hard the breeze strove with it
And how the breeze strove with her,
To perfect them, yet it could not.
To bring it more beauty, yet failed.
