1. سفينةٌ صُنِعَت بالهند إذ صُنِعَتْ

    أهدى السّفائن في سَيْرٍ وأجراها

    A ship built in India—at her making,

    She was the best-guided of ships in sailing, and the swiftest.

  2. طوع الهواء متى تجري جرت معه

    وما تخالف مسراه مسراها

    Obedient to the wind, whenever she sails, she sails with it.

    And her course does not diverge from its course.

  3. جاءَت من البحر تجري فيه أَرَّخَها

    سفينةُ البحر باسم الله مجراها

    She came from the sea, sailing in it; he recorded her date:

    The ship of the sea—her sailing is in God's name.
