1. فَلَمّا أَصاتَت عَصافيرُهُ

    وَلاحَت تَباشيرُ أَوراقِهِ

    When its sparrows cried aloud,

    and the harbingers of its leaves appeared,

  2. غَدا يَقتَري آبِقاً عارِياً

    وَيَلبَسُ ناضِرَ أَوراقِهِ

    it went forth roaming, a naked fugitive,

    and clothed itself in the freshness of its leaves.
