1. وَرَوضَةٍ قابَلنا بِشرُها

    بضاحكِ النوّارِ بسّامِهِ

    And a garden whose cheer greeted us

    with its laughing, beaming blossoms;

  2. تسحبُ فيها الريحُ أَذيالَها

    وَينفحُ الوَردُ بأَكمامِهِ

    the wind trails its skirts within it,

    and the rose wafts fragrance from its flower-sheaths.
