1. للهِ من فوارة قد أرسَلتْ

    ماءً شهدتُ الرّيَ قبل ورُوُدِه

    How wondrous a fountain that has sent forth

    water—I beheld thirst quenched before I reached it.

  2. فكأنّه والريحُ تخفِقُ حولَه

    وتَهابه فتكفُّ عن تجعيدهِ

    So it seems the wind, fluttering around it,

    holds it in awe and so refrains from wrinkling it.

  3. قُمْ يا نديمي إِلى اللذاتِ مبتكراً

    فالدَوْح أصْبحَ فيه الزهر مُتقَّدَا

    Rise, my boon companion, and set out early for pleasures;

    for the blossoms are now ablaze within the grove.

  4. إِذا ثنى الغصنَ وقعُ الطير مُغْتَرِداً

    عليه صَفَّقَ فيه النهرُ مُطَّرِدَا

    When birds alight and bend the bough, singing

    upon it, the river in the grove applauds, flowing steadily.
