1. God has a river whose beauty whenever I saw
I was reminded beside it of the river Al-Kawthar

2. The sun has cast over it her mantle
So you see it clad in a yellow shirt

3. The birds sing to the melody of lutes
Above the stream the clothes of revelers trail

4. As if the hands of spring eve
Adorned the cheeks of branches with jewels

5. As if its green fruits and whiteness
Were a mouth breathing under a coquettish cheek
