1. أما تَرَى الأشْجارَ كَيْفَ اكتَسَتْ

    أوراقُها رِقَّةَ ثَوبِ الأصيلْ

    Do you not see how the trees have clothed themselves,

    Their leaves in the delicate robe of late afternoon?

  2. ما ذاكَ إِلّا أنَّها آذَنتْ

    عَنَّا ولا شكَّ بِوَشْكِ الرَّحيلْ

    That is only because they have given notice

    Of their imminent departure from us—without a doubt.
