1. ورَوْضٍ كَساهُ الغَيثُ إذ جادَ أرضَه

    مَجاسِدَ وَشْيٍ من بهارٍ ومَنثورِ

    And a garden the rain clothed, when it watered its soil generously,

    in dyed brocaded robes of daisies and stocks.

  2. به أبيضُ الوردِ الجَنيِّ كأنَّما

    تَبسَّمَ للناشي بمِسكٍ وكافورِ

    Within it, the fresh white rose seems

    to smile at whoever breathes its scent, with musk and camphor.

  3. كأنَّ اصفراراً منه فوقَ ابيضاضِهِ

    بُرادةُ تِبرٍ في مَداهنِ بَلُّورِ

    As though its yellow hue, above its whiteness,

    were gold filings in crystal ointment jars.
