1. تأنّقَ في صنعتي راقِمي

    فصوّرَني نُزهةَ العالَمِ

    My embroiderer crafted me with exquisite care,

    and fashioned me as the world's delight.

  2. أتى بيَ خضراءَ روضيّةً

    وما الروضُ بالأخضرِ الدائمِ

    He brought me forth green and garden-like,

    yet no garden is forever green.

  3. يحلُّ بذلكَ سُقْيا الغَمامِ

    على فَرْطِ مدمعِه الساجِمِ

    Thereby he dispenses with the raincloud's watering,

    despite its eye's profusely streaming tears.
