1. When the Nile came to us from its depths
With a driver galloping full of vigor

2. I roamed its winding paths
With its replacement and profit

3. Its rhythm excites me with its clanging
And flowers amidst the ugliness of its songs

4. I drink what I must of its blend
A coal with hands safe from its heat

5. It combines its fire and coolness
I did not blink relying on its ardour

6. Except for the hills of its stars in its mansions
So I tasted a time sweet to me from its essence

7. Life is not flavored with the like of its flavor
Until when the night emerged from its darkness

8. One day I rode without hoping for its saddle
Nor did I turn my eyelid from its path

9. Until dawn appeared to it with its treatment
So I rose happy with killing its trouble
