1. God watered El Mahalla with coolness
The thin edges of unity gathered together

2. For her we built with wine so long
As we sent off a bride with a necklace to her husband

3. How many beautiful faces are in the garden
And how many clear eyes in the water are apparent

4. And how many arrows the rainbow sent
And unsheathed in the scabbard of the streams a blade

5. Therefore the smiles of the cheeks and as shyness
Rose on the blush of the roses in the tears of the dew

6. And if not for the narrators, rather the gossips who prattled
Conversations neither heard nor conveyed

7. We would have bought the holes of light in the mustache of the dew
Through the forehead of the river in the sparks of shade
