1. O sight, if you glance upon its splendor
Remind me of the beauty of the eternal garden

2. The soil of musk and the air of ambergris
And clouds of soft silk and rose water

3. And the water like lazuli in which
Precious gems and lions' mouths are strung

4. As if the particles of dust in it
Play at its banks with dice

5. You see it flourishing when
The Almighty's glory smiles with bracelets

6. You'd think that if a moon appeared in it
It would appear as it does in the auspicious ascendant

7. As if its gardens were clothed
In the glory and honor they obtained

8. As if its obligatory acts of worship
Were watered by thunderbolts from His right hand

9. It remains in double majesty
Seeking its course and watering alkaline soil
