1. The rose was shy in the presence of spring
So it walked with its blush amidst the yellow

2. And the water told of the two a red tale
Of beauty adorned with blossoms

3. United in perfection in a pond that gathered
Beauty that pleases the sights of civilizations

4. The water reddened with anemones, so
The fire swore by the water, its opposite

5. Thus we found the manners of our master Al-Zahr
Brilliance nurtured on flowers

6. It remained, from it and its dew, for people
The companion of suns and moons
