1. كَأنَّ الثريا وَالقَنَادِيلُ حَوْلَهَا

    لَدَى جامعٍ بادي الجمال مُعَظَّمِ

    As though the chandelier and the lamps around it,

    in a revered mosque of evident beauty,

  2. رياضٌ رَنَتْ أحْداقُ آرامِ زَهْرِهَا

    لِغِيدِ بعرش الياسمينِ المنظَّمِ

    were gardens, the eyes of their blossom-gazelles gazing

    at graceful maidens in a bower of neatly arranged jasmine.
