مِلْنا إِلى النَّشْر الذي تلتقِي

إليه أنفاسُ الصَّبَا عاطِرَه

We rode to the meadow where the morning breeze

Brings fragrant breaths that mingle and coalesce.

ثم خلعْنا لُجُمَ الخيلِ في

رياضهِ المونقةِ الناضِرَه

There we let our horses freely gallop and race

Across its fresh, verdant, and flourishing space.

حولَ غديرٍ ماؤُه دارعٌ

والأرضُ من رقَّتِه حاسِرَه

Around a pond whose waters like armor lie,

With ground so delicate it seems to subsidize.

فالشمس إنْ حاذَتْهُ رأْدَ الضُّحَى

حسناءُ في مرآتِها ناظِرَه

When the sun nears the pond, the glow of dawn

Is a beauty looking at herself forlorn.

والشهب إن حاذَتْهُ جُنحَ الدُّجَى

تسبحُ في لُجَّتِه الزاخِرَه

And when stars approach as night starts to loom,

They swim in its still waters cloaked in gloom.

قد ركّب الخضراء فيه فمن

حصبائِه أنجُمُها الزاهِرَه

The meadow has decked it with stars ashore,

Emeralds among its reeds that dazzlingly pour.

يخصَر إن مرَّ بأرجائِه

لفحُ سَمومٍ في لَظَى الهاجِرَه

A passing venomous wind, if it whips through,

Would sting with its scorching and searing hallu.

أنموذجُ الماءِ الذي جاءَنا ال

وعدُ بأنْ نُسْقَاهُ في الآخِرَه

This pond we were promised would await us, would sate us,

With water to drink in the thereafter, our balm and elixir.
