1. A bridge was built
And shaped from salt
١. قَنْطَرَةٌ قَدْ بُنِيَتْ
وَصُوِّرَتْ مِن المُلَحْ
2. Whoever sees it
Would fly in wonder and joy
٢. يَكادُ مَنْ يُبْصِرُها
يَطِيرُ عُجْباً وَفَرَحْ
3. Its features were perfected
With every proposed beauty
٣. قَدْ كَمَلَتْ أَوْصافُها
مِن كُلِّ حُسْنٍ مُقْتَرَحْ
4. As if its height
Was at the pinnacle of a rainbow
٤. كَأَنَّما ارْتِفاعُهَا
في ذُرْوَةٍ قَوْسُ قُزَحْ
