1. إذا فُتنَ الإنسانُ يوما بمنظَرٍ

    فإنى إلى النارنج مائلةٌ نفسى

    If ever someone is captivated by a sight,

    Then my own soul is drawn to the bitter orange.

  2. تظنُّ السماءَ خُضرةً شجراتِهِ

    وتحسَبه ما بينها كُرَة الشمسِ

    You would take its trees, in their greenness, for the sky,

    And deem it, among them, the orb of the sun.
