1. I was content with the gardens' satisfaction as a dwelling and halt
For in it there is pasture, and in it a resting place

2. Maybe the people of my love will hear of its fertility
And take it as a square and a halt

3. For we have a heart attached to them
When the announcer calls to them, shouting

4. And if they call each other to depart and hasten
You would hear behind the riders a cry

5. So if they head for Al-Zawra, their way is ahead of them
And if they intend Al-Jarfa, then a halt

6. The birds are only where they camped and settled
For it has in their neighborhood fledglings

7. Fear for me battles fear for their sake
And neither retreats from its mate

8. When their necklaces snatch our sights
The sound of panting is deafened to their sake
