1. لله صرة كاعب أبدت لنا

    خالا به شمس المشارق أشرقت

    How wondrous a budding maiden’s pouch, which revealed to us

    A mole with which the sun of the eastern horizons shone!

  2. كانت منكرة فابدى نشره

    فتعرفت بعبيره وتحققت

    It was unrecognized; then its scent revealed it,

    And so it became known by its fragrance, its identity confirmed.
