1. By the riverbank a stream
Whose banks the rains have dressed

2. In green, yellow, and red
And some parts whitened

3. With flowers and blossoms
Of tender sprouts

4. So roses and cheeks
White, rosy, blushing

5. As violets a cheek
Where kisses left their press

6. And jasmine stars
That perfect beauty possess

7. A wondrous garden, when
You cast your eyes will bless

8. Imprisoning beauty, till
No glance can it redress

9. It told of Judge Ibn Abbad
The noble and his noblesse

10. Judge of truth, marcher of right
Pleased if justice progress

11. A name exalted, may God
Make Time his name depress
