الثور في الساقيه

يمشي خلفه ذنب

The bull in the irrigation canal

Walks with his tail behind him

يسقي الشجر فرد ما

تطرح الثمار شي عجب

Watering the solitary tree

Bearing fruits is a wonder

مشمش وموز وشقير

وخوخ وتين وعنب

Apricot, banana, and loquat

Peach, fig, and grapes

وشي حويمض كمان

في اللون يعجبني

And some quince as well

Its color delights me

فالمشمش أصفر من

عيني وهزّ الهوى

The apricot is yellow like

My eyes that passion shook

والموز قد قشروه

لما حلي واستوى

The banana they peeled

When it ripened and straightened

وأما الشقير فذاب

حين بان منه النوى

And the loquat melted away

When its core appeared

وذا جزاه كم على

الأغصان يحارنني

And how much on the branches

Does it perplex me

والخوخ حين صار خوخ

من الشجر قلعوه

The peach when it became a peach

They picked it from the tree

والتين لمّا تعرّى

وانفشخ رفعوه

The fig when it was bare

And its skin split open they lifted it

وحين زبب على

أمه العنب قطعوه

And when the grapes swelled

On their mother they cut it

ما أحلاه من بعد قطعه

حين يواصلني

How beautiful it is after being cut

When it reaches me
