1. كأَنَّ عَشيَّ القَطرِ في شاطىءِ النَهرِ

    وَقَد زَهَرَت فيهِ الأَزاهِرُ كالزَهرِ

    As though the rainy evening by the riverbank—

    with flowers shining there like stars—

  2. تَرُشُّ بِماءِ الوَردِ رَشّاً وَتَنثَني

    لِتَغليفِ أَفواهٍ بِطَيِّبَةِ الخَمرِ

    were sprinkling rosewater, then turning back

    to coat mouths with fragrant wine.
