نُثَارَ لآلِي فَوْقَ صَرْح مُمَرَّدِ
And a pool's waves surged, so I fancied it
My sea's waves surged, so I left them
A scattering of pearls upon a polished pavilion,
Scattered atop a towering palace
أوor الزُّهْرَthe bright stars فيin الآفَاقِthe horizons تُبْدِيgive forth أشِعَّةًrays
أو الزُّهْرَ في الآفَاقِ تُبْدِي أشِعَّةً

أوِ الزَّهْرَ غِبَّ القَطْرِ فِي رَوْضِهِ النَّدِي
Or bright stars across the horizons, shedding rays,
Or the flowers across horizons radiating rays
Or blossoms after the rain, in their dewy garden.
Or the rain-deprived flowers in their lush garden
