1. With a blessing, its view delights
The water in it, tongues express
١. وبِرْكةٍ مَنظرُها يُطرِبُ
للماءِ فيه ألْسنٌ تُعْرِبُ
2. You'd think from its long chant
It always sings or orates
٢. تَحسبُها من طولِ تَرجيعها
دائمةً تنشدُ أو تَخْطُبُ
3. As if its fountains in its midst
When they crawl, a game they play
٣. كأنَّ فوَّاراتها وَسْطَها
إذا ترامَتْ لعبٌ تَلْعَبُ
4. To its right and to its left
An aqueduct standing, it flows
٤. مِنْ يَمْنةٍ فيها ومِنْ يَسرةٍ
قَنطرةٌ واقِفةٌ تَذْهبُ
