1. The breeze halted at its boughs,
And the waves clapped the north wind's pride.

2. I reckon Tigris submitted, though I did not see,
The bridge cutting through its waistband.

3. And it told of erecting glory in it, planting
The trees of crafts around it.

4. The orbit depicted it as if
It had created and rotated it before its existence.

5. And built on the honor of wealth his palace,
And settled on the orbit of comforts his house.

6. So the builder polishes it for his glory,
And the carpenter engraves his devotion and youth.

7. It occupied our thoughts and glanced our eyes
Since it started composing its motifs into poems.

8. Vaster example if there crossed his mind,
And reached the sky when his abodes came to it.

9. It makes the giant forget telling his tales
And disgraces Egypt counting its cities.
