1. كَأَنَّما ياسَمينُنا الغَضُّ

    كَواكِبٌ في السَماءِ تَبرُ

    It is as though our fresh jasmine

    Were stars glittering in the sky;

  2. وَالطُرُقُ الحُمرُ في جَوانِبِهِ

    كَخَدِّ عَذراءَ نالَهُ العطرُ

    And the red streaks along its sides

    Are like a maiden's cheek touched by perfume.
