1. أَيُّ غُصنٍ في الرَوضِ هزَّ نَسيمٌ

    نُثِرَت منهُ هذه الأَزهارُ

    Which bough in the garden has a breeze stirred,

    From which these blossoms were scattered?

  2. حَبَّذا شِعرهُ الجَنِيُّ وَأَهلاً

    بِبَيانٍ تُزهى به الأَشعارُ

    How lovely his freshly plucked verse—and welcome

    To eloquence by which poems are adorned!
