1. دارتْ عليك بكاسها

    فلتشكرنَّكَ والندامَى

    She came round to you with her cup;

    so let her surely thank you and the boon companions.

  2. وجلَتْ جواريَها علي

    ك رواقصا غُرًّا وِساما

    And she unveiled her maidens before

    you, dancing, bright-faced and beautiful.

  3. تلقى نواحلَها الخِما

    صَ سمينةَ المعنَى جِساما

    You find her slender, lean-bellied ones

    plump with meaning, full-bodied.

  4. يقدُمن واضحةَ الجبي

    ن تشُقُّ غرَّتُها الظلاما

    They precede one with a radiant brow,

    whose bright blaze cleaves the darkness.

  5. تُحيي وتقتُلُ مَن رأتْ

    أبدا وصالا وانصراما

    She gives life to and kills whomever she sees,

    ever through union and separation.

  6. تُطوَى وتُنشَرُ في البلا

    دِ فلا رحيلَ ولا مُقاما

    She is folded and unfolded throughout the lands,

    so there is neither departure nor abiding.
