1. As if the river's water were
The white doves on a bright morn,
١. وَكَأَنَّ مَاءَ النَّهْرِ قَدْ نَزَلَتْ
بِيضُ الْحَمَائِمِ فِي صَبَاحٍ أَنْوَرِ
2. And the sun had shed its rays upon it -
Molten clarity in chalices of gems.
٢. وَالشَّمْسُ قَدْ نَفَضَتْ عَلَيْهِ شُعَاعَهَا
ذَوْبَ النُّضَارِ عَلَتْهُ أَكْؤُسُ جَوْهَرِ
