1. لَكُمْ أَيَادٍ عِذابٌ لي مَوارِدُها

    والوَفْدُ مِنهنَّ بَينَ الوِرْدِ والصَّدَرِ

    Yours are favors whose springs are sweet to me;

    And visitors come to drink from them, then depart.

  2. والبَرْدُ يَمْنَعُني مِنها على ظمأي

    والعَذْبُ يُهْجَرُ لِلإفْراطِ في الخَصَرِ

    Yet the cold keeps me from them, despite my thirst;

    And sweet water is shunned for being far too cold.
