1. How delightful a gift, whenever bestowed,
In the springtime or time of late harvest.

2. Water’s edge like polished shields on pebbles
Foam without a breach, copiously pouring.

3. Sand, when touched by water, its shoulder
Suffices us for pure musk and fragrance.

4. Figs stand on their nipples
Like the breasts of young Zanj girls above chests.

5. As if domes of citron within them hold brides
On beds spread with silk and brocade.
