We turned toward the upland, where gather

We rode to the meadow where the morning breeze

the fragrant breaths of the east wind.

Brings fragrant breaths that mingle and coalesce.

ثم خلعْنا لُجُمَ الخيلِ في

ثم خلعْنا لُجُمَ الخيلِ في

رياضهِ المونقةِ الناضِرَه

Then we removed the horses' bridles in

There we let our horses freely gallop and race

its delightful, verdant meadows,

Across its fresh, verdant, and flourishing space.

حولَ غديرٍ ماؤُه دارعٌ

والأرضُ من رقَّتِه حاسِرَه

والأرضُ من رقَّتِه حاسِرَه

around a pool whose water is clad in armor,

Around a pond whose waters like armor lie,

while through its transparency the earth lies bare.

With ground so delicate it seems to subsidize.

فالشمس إنْ حاذَتْهُ رأْدَ الضُّحَى

فالشمس إنْ حاذَتْهُ رأْدَ الضُّحَى

حسناءُ في مرآتِها ناظِرَه

حسناءُ في مرآتِها ناظِرَه

So the sun, when it faces it in early forenoon,

When the sun nears the pond, the glow of dawn

is a beauty gazing into her mirror.

Is a beauty looking at herself forlorn.

والشهب إن حاذَتْهُ جُنحَ الدُّجَى

والشهب إن حاذَتْهُ جُنحَ الدُّجَى

تسبحُ في لُجَّتِه الزاخِرَه

تسبحُ في لُجَّتِه الزاخِرَه

And the stars, when they face it under cover of night,

And when stars approach as night starts to loom,

swim in its surging depths.

They swim in its still waters cloaked in gloom.

قد ركّب الخضراء فيه فمن

The green firmament has been set within it, so among

The meadow has decked it with stars ashore,

its pebbles are the firmament's gleaming stars.

Emeralds among its reeds that dazzlingly pour.

يخصَر إن مرَّ بأرجائِه

يخصَر إن مرَّ بأرجائِه

لفحُ سَمومٍ في لَظَى الهاجِرَه

لفحُ سَمومٍ في لَظَى الهاجِرَه

Chilled, if it passes through its surroundings,

A passing venomous wind, if it whips through,

is a scorching wind's blast in the blaze of noon.

Would sting with its scorching and searing hallu.

أنموذجُ الماءِ الذي جاءَنا ال

A sample of that water, concerning which we received the

This pond we were promised would await us, would sate us,

promise that we shall be given it to drink in the Hereafter.

With water to drink in the thereafter, our balm and elixir.
