Rise, give me a drink, while the canal smiles,
Serve me drink, the Gulf is smiling,
And the wind bends the tresses of the boughs.
And the winds bend wisps of reedgrass.

صف قنا سندسية العذب
They seem, as the winds bend them,
As though it and the winds that caress it
A rank of spears with silken pennons.
Were a row of soft silken gowns.

And the sky is clad in a musk-dyed robe,
The air is fragrant,
Which lightning has embroidered with gold.
Embroidered by lightning in gold.
