1. الرَوضُ في حَليِهِ وَجَوهَرِهِ

    مُرجَلُ نِسرينِهِ وَعَبهَرِهِ

    The garden, in its adornments and jewels,

    Is a cauldron of its wild roses and narcissi.

  2. وَالماءُ بَينَ الغُصونِ مُبتَسِمٌ

    مِمّا يَرى مِن مَرارِ مَرمَرِهِ

    And the water between the branches smiles

    At what it sees of its marble's bitterness.

  3. فَسَقِّنا ما يَكونُ مَنظَرُهُ

    في الحُسنِ مِن مُعجِزاتِ مَخبَرِهِ

    So give us a drink whose appearance

    In beauty is among the marvels of its inner nature.

  4. فَالغَيمُ قَد سَخِرَ النَسيمَ لَهُ

    بِخَلطِ كافورِهِ بِعَنبَرِهِ

    For the cloud has indeed harnessed the breeze for it

    By blending its camphor with its ambergris.
