1. ياقوته ما ضمها مخنقه

    في درة في حقة محققه

    A ruby no choker has clasped,

    Within a pearl, within a well-made casket.

  2. كأنها وقد غدت مغلقه

    قد نشرت أثوابها المرققه

    As though, now that it lies enclosed,

    With its delicate robes spread out,

  3. تبر حوته من لجين بوتقه

    It were gold held in a crucible of silver.
