ناوَلَني مَن أُحِبُّ نَرجِسَةً

ناوَلَني مَن أُحِبُّ نَرجِسَةً

أَحسَنَ في ناظِري مِنَ الوَردِ

أَحسَنَ في ناظِري مِنَ الوَردِ

The one I love handed me a narcissus,

Lovelier in my eyes than the rose.

كَأَنَّما بِيضُها مُرَصَّعَةً

كَأَنَّما بِيضُها مُرَصَّعَةً

مِن ثَغرِهِ وَالصَفارُ مِن خَدّي

مِن ثَغرِهِ وَالصَفارُ مِن خَدّي

As though its white petals were set with jewels

From his mouth, and its yellow came from my cheek.
