1. كَأَنَّما اللَيمونُ لَمّا بَدا

    لِلعَينِ في أَوراقِهِ الخُضرِ

    It is as though the lemons, when they appeared

    To the eye among their green leaves,

  2. مَداهِنٌ مِن ذَهَبٍ أُطبِقَت

    عَلى زَكِيِّ المِسكِ وَالخَمرِ

    Were ointment jars of gold, sealed

    Over fragrant musk and wine.
