1. اُنظُر حُلَى الرّوضِ حَيثُ الماءُ يَركضُ في

    قَناتِه صافياً يُهديكَ أَفراحا

    Behold the garden’s adornments, where the water races in

    its channel, clear, bringing you joys.

  2. كَأَنّهُ حيّةٌ وَالرّوضُ مَدَّ لَهُ

    قُدودَ أَشجارِهِ لِلطّعنِ أَرمَاحا

    As though it were a serpent, and the garden had stretched toward it

    the slender forms of its trees as spears to pierce it.
