1. وتأريخ حُبيتُ به فأضحى

    لفكري من دماثته ارتياضُ

    And a chronogram I was favored with became

    Through its smoothness, an exercise for my mind.

  2. أجلْتُ الطرفَ فيه فغازلتني

    معانٍ دونها الحَدَقُ المِراضُ

    I let my gaze roam over it, and there flirted with me

    Meanings surpassing languid eyes.

  3. فشكراً يا نسيمُ فقد أتتنا

    وحيّتنَا عل يدكَ الرياضُ

    So thank you, O Nasim, for they have come to us

    And greeted us through your hand—the gardens.
