1. A spot of the finest spots
The guide gives good tidings there to the shepherd
١. وَبُقعَةٍ مِن أَحسَنِ البِقاعِ
يُبَشِّرُ الرائِدُ فيها الراعي
2. Of fertility, pasture and breadth
As though he covers the face of the plain
٢. بِالخَصبِ وَالمَرتَعِ وَالوَساعِ
كَأَنَّما يَستُرُ وَجهَ القاعِ
3. With all colors and kinds
Like what the Romans wove for the man in the cloak
٣. مِن سائِرِ الأَلوانِ وَالأَنواعِ
مانَسَجَ الرومُ لِذي الكِلاعِ
4. Of the making of the Creator, not the makers
And water poured down from the hills
٤. مِن صَنعَةِ الخالِقِ لا الصُنّاعِ
وَالماءُ مُنحَطٌّ مِنَ التِلاعِ
5. As eggs slide for the one who knocks them
And the partridges chirped for listening
٥. كَما تُسَلُّ البيضُ لِلقِراعِ
وَغَرَّدَ القُمرِيَّ لِلسِماعِ
6. And the water danced to the rhythm
And the springtime spread in the spots
٦. وَرَقَصَ الماءُ عَلى الإيقاعِ
وَنُشِرَ البَهارُ في البِقاعِ
7. As if it were palaces during the weeks
٧. كَأَنَّهُ القُسورَ في الأَسباعِ
