ساريةٌ لم تُخْلِنَا

من رَغَبٍ ومن رَهَبْ

A cloud that did not fail us

Of desire and of awe

فودْقُها وبَرْقُها

ماءُ حياةٍ ولَهَبْ

Its dripping and lightning

Is water of life and flame

والوَدْقُ منها فِضَّةٌ

بيضاءُ والبَرْقُ ذَهَبْ

Its dripping is silver

White, and its lightning is gold

إنْ نامَ جَفْنُ برقِها

صاحَ به الريحُ فَهَبّْ

If the eyelid of its lightning slept

The wind woke it, so it drifted

أصبحتِ الأرضُ بها

غنيّةً مما تَهَبْ

With it the land became

Rich from what it bestows

فالماءُ خمرٌ تُجْتَلَى

والماءُ مسكٌ مُنْتَهَبْ

So the water is wine distilled

And the water is inhaled musk
