1. وَرَوضَةٌ كَأَنَّها مِن حُسنِها

    تَبرُزُ في أَثوابِ سَعدٍ وَمُنى

    And a garden that, in its beauty, seems

    to emerge in robes of good fortune and hope.

  2. قَد نَثَرَ اللَيلُ عَلى أَنوارِها

    لَآلِئَ الطَلِّ وَأَفرادَ النَدى

    Night has scattered over its blossoms

    pearls of dew and single dewdrops.

  3. بَكَت عَلَيها مُزنَةٌ فَاِبتَسَمَت

    عَن لُؤلُؤٍ بَينَ فُرادى وَثَنى

    A raincloud wept over it, so it smiled,

    revealing pearls, some single and some in pairs.

  4. وَحَولُها بَنَفسَجٌ كَأَنَّهُ

    أَواخِرُ النيرانِ في جَزَلِ الغَضا

    And around it are violets, as though they were

    the last flames in thick ghada logs.
