1. لما زهى زهرُ الربيع بروضه

    وغدا له فضلٌ يبين عليه

    When spring’s blossoms flourished in its garden,

    And its excellence became plain to see,

  2. قام الحمامُ له خطيباً بالثنا

    وجرى الغديرُ فخر بين يديه

    The doves rose as its orator, singing praise,

    And the brook flowed, then fell prostrate before it.
