1. Days bear no rancour
You brought us to the peak of nobility

2. In your abodes we saw
Stars of beauty that never set

3. Suns rose over them
On swaying boughs amid the dunes

4. Each upright, shapely lad appeared
Under a buzzing hive

5. The non-Arabs sang eloquently of them
After their wailing in rapture

6. And frolicked in the meadow dancing
The daughter of generosity danced playfully

7. All of you, your faces
Are radiant like meteors

8. Even the doves are fascinated by you
That is the most wondrous of wonders

9. And after the moons rose from you
Veiled in coverlets
