بأخفافها يدنو الفتى من حبيبه

وتُبعدهُ إن أذهلته الشدائدُ

With light steps the youth approaches his beloved

And difficulties keep him far, should they bewilder him

يكون على أكوارها هجعةُ السرى

وأذرعُها عند الصباح وسائدُ

On her hills the companions find their night's rest

And her arms in the morning are their pillows
