1. رَيحانَتي رَوض المَحاسن ما الَّذي

    بَلغتماهُ مِن العذول اللاغي

    O two basil sprigs of beauty’s garden, what is it

    you both have heard from the prattling reproacher,

  2. حَتّى تَوارَت مِن لِحاظي وَردتا

    خَديكُما ببنفسج الأَصداغ

    that the two roses have vanished from my gaze—

    those of your cheeks—behind the violets of your temples?
