1. She is the singing garden that delights the ear and heart
Never did my eyes behold, nor my ears hear

2. A scene more pleasing to the birds of the gardens
Where melody is linked to melody through song

3. I looked upon the trees - she is their queen
For this, most of their branches bow to her

4. She has the chest of a peacock, spreading
Its wings with the likes of supple branches

5. The gardens gaze at her as eyes
Roam the beloved's allure and charm

6. The rose bud kisses its twin
And the tender branch embraces the branch

7. The river is her necklace, and ponds her jewelry
Thus, in beauty she surpasses beauty itself

8. We entered and visited the eternal heaven through her
And it was as dawn breaking the darkness of night

9. We left, though we were told to stay, as though
Departing her meant for us the prison

10. Palaces around the Tigris were sacrificed for her
Though their riches and bounty were never diminished

11. For through her fruits and harvests manifest
And she forever yields produce and plenty
