قَد نَظَمَ الماءُ لُؤلُؤَ الحَبَبِ

عِقداً لِأُمِّ السُرورِ وَالطَرَبِ

The water has strung pearls of love

As a necklace for the lady of joy and delight

فَاِستَجلِها في رُبى تَرائِبِها

قَد حُلِّيَت بِاللُجَينِ وَالذَهَبِ

So seek her out in the folds of her drapery

Adorned with silver and gold

وَالزَهرُ تيجانُهُ يُرَصِّعَها

دُرُّ النَدى في مَفارِقِ القُضُبِ

With flowers crowning her

And dewdrops ornamenting her parting hair
