رُبَّ صافٍ رَقْرَقَتْه الرْ

يحُ في متنِ صَفاةِ

Many a pure stream the wind disturbs

in the bed of translucent clearness

عَبِقٌ من جَرِّ أذيا

لِ رياحٍ عَبقاتِ

A scent from the trailing of robes

of scented winds and fragrances

صافحَ الرُّكبانُ منه

صَفْحَتَيْ عَذْبٍ فُراتِ

The travelers have greeted thereof

two sweet draughts of Euphrates' waters

أودَعَتْه الرّيحُ ما استَوْ

دَعَها زَهْرُ النَّباتِ

The wind has entrusted unto it what it

has borrowed from the flowers' essence

فانثَنَوا عنه بأيدٍ

خَضِراتٍ عَطِراتِ

So they turned away from it with hands

Green and perfumed through contact
