واصطبحناها على نه

واصطبحناها على نه

رٍ بصَفوِ الماءِ يَجري

رٍ بصَفوِ الماءِ يَجري

And we drank it in the morning beside a riv—

We found it by the bank

—er flowing with clear water.

Of a stream, whose pure water flowed

ظَلَّلَتْهُ شَجَراتٌ

ظَلَّلَتْهُ شَجَراتٌ

عِطرُها أطيبُ عِطرِ

عِطرُها أطيبُ عِطرِ

Trees shaded it,

Trees shaded it

their fragrance the sweetest of fragrances.

Whose fragrance was the sweetest scent

فَلَكٌ أنجُمُهُ اللَّي

فَلَكٌ أنجُمُهُ اللَّي

مونُ من بِيضٍ وخُضْرِ

مونُ من بِيضٍ وخُضْرِ

A firmament whose stars are lem—

A sky whose stars by night

—ons, white and green:

Shone white and green

أُكَرٌ من فِضَّةٍ قد

أُكَرٌ من فِضَّةٍ قد

شابَها تلويحُ تِبْرِ

شابَها تلويحُ تِبْرِ

Spheres of silver, already

Silvery clouds

tinged with a hint of gold.

Streaked by flashes of amber
