1. أَقولُ لِرَوضِ الزّهرِ وَالوردُ رَأسهُ

    وَنَرجسهُ كَالعينِ عَينٌ بلامينِ

    I say to the garden of flowers, whose head is the rose,

    And whose narcissus, like an eye, is an eye—no lie:

  2. أَتَأذَن لي يا رَوض أَن أَشرَبَ الطّلى

    قالَ قُمِ اِشرَب عَلى الرّأسِ وَالعينِ

    “Will you permit me, O garden, to drink the wine?”

    It said, “Rise and drink—my head and eye are at your service!”
