ورُبَّ حَديقَةٍ بَرَزَتْ عَروساً

ورُبَّ حَديقَةٍ بَرَزَتْ عَروساً

فَتَوَّجَها وطَوَّقها الغَمامُ

فَتَوَّجَها وطَوَّقها الغَمامُ

And many a garden has come forth as a bride,

Many a garden arose in bridal finery

so the clouds crowned her and adorned her with a necklace.

To be crowned and begirt by the clouds,

يُشَقُّ بِجَدْوَلٍ فيها غَديرٌ

يُشَقُّ بِجَدْوَلٍ فيها غَديرٌ

كَما يُنْضَى عَلى دِرْعٍ حُسامُ

كَما يُنْضَى عَلى دِرْعٍ حُسامُ

A pool within it is cleft by a stream,

While through it a streamlet flows

as a sharp sword is unsheathed over a coat of mail.

As a sword flashes through a coat of mail.
