قَنْطَرَةٌ قَدْ بُنِيَتْ

وَصُوِّرَتْ مِن المُلَحْ

A bridge was built

And shaped from salt

يَكادُ مَنْ يُبْصِرُها

يَطِيرُ عُجْباً وَفَرَحْ

Whoever sees it

Would fly in wonder and joy

قَدْ كَمَلَتْ أَوْصافُها

مِن كُلِّ حُسْنٍ مُقْتَرَحْ

Its features were perfected

With every proposed beauty

كَأَنَّما ارْتِفاعُهَا

في ذُرْوَةٍ قَوْسُ قُزَحْ

As if its height

Was at the pinnacle of a rainbow
