1. وَلَها بِالماطِرونَ إِذا

    أَكَلَ النَملُ الَّذي جَمَعا

    And at al-Māṭirūn she has, when

    the ants have eaten what they gathered,

  2. خُرفَةٌ حَتّى إِذا رَبَعَت

    سَكَنَت مِن جِلِّقٍ بيعا

    an autumn fruit harvest, until, when she settles for spring,

    she dwells in churches of Jilliq,

  3. في قِبابٍ حَولَ دَسكَرَةٍ

    حَولَها الزَيتونُ قَد يَنَعا

    in domed buildings around a country estate,

    around which the olive trees have ripened.
