وَمُترَعَةٍ كَأَنَّ الوَردَ فيها

كَواكِبُ لَيلَةٍ فَقَدَت غَماما

And a meadow, as though roses therein

Are stars on a night that has lost its clouds.

سَقَيتُ بِها عُمارَةَ أَو سَقاني

إِذا ما الجِبسُ عَن ضَيفَيهِ ناما

With it I watered a settlement, or it watered me,

When the plaster from my two arms fell asleep.
