1. أحْرَقَ الفَجْر عَنْبَرَ السَّحَرِ

    بِلَهِيب الصَّبَاحْ

    Dawn has burned the ambergris of the predawn hour

    With the flame of morning;

  2. وَقَدِ افْتَرَّ مبسم الزَّهَرِ

    عَنْ ثَنَايَا الأقَاحْ

    And the blossoms’ mouth has parted in a smile

    To reveal the daisies’ front teeth.
