1. وأَعيُنٍ تأنفُ من إغضائِها

    صافيةِ الأجفانِ من أَقذائِها

    And eyes that disdain being closed,

    their lids clear of specks,

  2. تُردي بناتِ الغُدْرِ في أثنائِها

    يَحمِلُها طَبٌّ بحَسمِ دائِها

    slay the daughters of the pools within their folds.

    One skilled in curing their ailments carries them,

  3. مجدِّدٌ ما رثَّ من أعضائِها

    يجذبها والرِّزقُ في أحشائِها

    renewing whatever of their limbs has worn out.

    He draws them in, with sustenance in their bellies;

  4. بيضاؤُه تلمعُ في غَبرائِها

    كأنما كَسَّرَ في أثنائِها

    his white catch gleams amid their gray,

    as though he had shattered within their folds

  5. صوارماً تُعشيكَ من لألائِها

    swords whose brilliance dazzles you.
