1. وافى نَفَسُ الصبح بريّا الوَردِ

    وَالبُلبُلُ شاقَه محيّا الوَردِ

    The breath of dawn came with the rose's fragrance.

    And the rose's face stirred the nightingale to longing.

  2. إِن يَنتَشِ غُصنُهُ وَيَحمِل جاماً

    لا غَروَ فَفي الرأس حُمَيّا الوردِ

    If its branch grows tipsy and bears a goblet,

    No wonder, for the rose's intoxicating power is in its head.
