أودَعْتُ نسجَ المِلَحِ

ما شئتُه من مُلَحِ

I have entrusted to the weave of salt

Whatever salt I desired

فأُثْبِتَتْ خلالَهُ

محاسنٌ ما تنمحى

And within it were affirmed

Beauties that do not fade

دارتْ به مُدامةٌ

قد أودِعَتْ في قدَحِ

A wine-bearer passed it around

It had been placed in a drinking glass

للهِ من مُغتَبِقٍ

فيها ومن مُصطَبِحِ

By Allah, from one immersed in it

And one receiving the morning in it

انْعَرَ يا ابنَ فاتحٍ

وهو نعيرُ الفرَحِ

Rejoice, O Son of the Opener

While it is the camel of joy
