جَواهِرُ عُشبٍ وَنورٍ نَظيمٍ

جَواهِرُ عُشبٍ وَنورٍ نَظيمٍ

وَأَفرادُ ظِلٍّ وَقَطرُ نَثيرِ

وَأَفرادُ ظِلٍّ وَقَطرُ نَثيرِ

Jewels of grass and blossoms strung together,

Jewels of grass and orderly light,

And isolated patches of shade and scattered raindrops;

And individuals of shade and abundant dew.

فَمِن بَينِ صُفرٍ وَحُمرٍ وَخُضرٍ

فَمِن بَينِ صُفرٍ وَحُمرٍ وَخُضرٍ

عَلى القُضبِ غيدٍ وَزورٍ وَصورِ

عَلى القُضبِ غيدٍ وَزورٍ وَصورِ

Among them, yellow, red, and green,

So between yellow, red, and green,

Upon supple, bent, and leaning stems;

On the stalks, beauty, blossoms, and images.

وَلَعسٍ تُناسِبُ لُعسَ الشِفاهِ

وَلَعسٍ تُناسِبُ لُعسَ الشِفاهِ

وَبيضٍ تُعارِضُ بيضَ الثُغورِ

وَبيضٍ تُعارِضُ بيضَ الثُغورِ

And dusky ones matching the dark hue of lips,

And lips that match the lips of mouths,

And white ones rivaling the whiteness of teeth;

And whiteness that rivals the whiteness of apples.

نَواظِرُ مِن بَينِ يَقظى وَوَسنى

نَواظِرُ مِن بَينِ يَقظى وَوَسنى

وَنُجلٍ وَخُزرٍ وَحولٍ وَحورِ

وَنُجلٍ وَخُزرٍ وَحولٍ وَحورِ

Eyes, some wakeful and some drowsy,

Glances from between wakefulness and drowsiness,

And wide, narrow, crossed, and dark against white.

And beauty, greenness, prettiness, and maidens.
