وَرَوضَةٍ صَنَعَت أَيدي الرَبيعِ لَها
بُرودَها وَكَسَتها وَشيَها عَدَنُ
And a garden for which the hands of spring fashioned
her robes, and Aden clothed her in embroidered brocade.
عاجَت عَلَيها مَطايا الغَيثِ مُسبَلَةً
لَهُنَّ في ضَحِكّاتٍ أَدمُعٌ هُتُنُ
The mounts of graceful maidens turned toward her, their draperies trailing;
amid their laughter, tears came streaming.
كَأَنَّما البَينُ يُبكيها وَيُضحِكُها
وَصلٌ حَباها بِهِ مِن بَعدِهِ سَكَنُ
As though parting made her weep, while what made her laugh was
a reunion that repose bestowed on her once parting was past.
فَوَلَّدَت صُفُراً أَثوابُها خُضُرٌ
أَحشاؤُهُنَّ لِأَحشاءِ النَدى وَطَنُ
And so she bore yellow blossoms, their garments green,
their hearts a home for the heart of dew.
مِن كُلِّ عَسجَدَةٍ في خِدرِها اِكتَتَمَت
عَذراءُ في بَطنِها الياقوتُ مُكتَمِنٌ
From every golden jewel, within its curtained chamber, there hid
a virgin, with ruby concealed within her belly.
