1. اصفرُ الخيريّ يشهد

    أَنّ عقدَ الوردِ قد رُد

    The yellow wallflower bears witness

    that the garland of roses has been rejected.

  2. ويرى أنَّ البهارَ ال

    مُنتفى اغلى وامجِد

    And deems the oxeye,

    the banished one, more precious and more glorious.

  3. ملكٌ يقظانُ يأتي

    وصُنوفُ النَّورِ هُجَّد

    A wakeful king comes,

    while the kinds of blossoms slumber.
