1. قد توخيناك بالفص

    الذي كان لدينا

    We have singled you out for the gem

    that was in our keeping.

  2. فيه للحسن مياهٌ

    لو تصوَّبْنَ جرينا

    Within it are waters of beauty;

    were they to pour down, we would run.

  3. فهو لو يكرع ذودٌ

    فيه يوماً لارتوينا

    For if a small herd of camels drank

    from it one day, we would drink our fill.

  4. أو جرى إِنبجست منه

    اثنتا عشرة عينا

    Or, were it to flow, there would gush from it

    twelve springs.

  5. زينة تهدى إلى كفِّ

    فتى زادته زينا

    An ornament offered to the palm

    of a young man whose beauty it enhanced.
