1. The Nile has gleamed at its waist
A belt of the crescent moon's shape
١. النَيلُ قَد لاحَت عَلى خَصرِهِ
مِنطَقَةٌ مِن صيغَةِ البَدرِ
2. So drink according to the doctrine of its flowers
Gold in silver flowing
٢. فَاِشرَب عَلى مُذهَبِ أَزهارِهِ
مِن ذَهَبٍ في فَضَّةٍ يَجري
3. Before the dawn shows you its crystals
Shining in the turquoise of dawn
٣. قَبلَ يُريكَ الصُبحُ بِلَّورَهُ
يَلمَعُ في فَيروزَجِ الفَجرِ
