Claude 2

  1. انظر إلى النهر كم أبدى لنا طربا

    إن السرور كصافي مائه دفقا

    Look at the river, how much joy it showed us

    Its happiness is like the clarity of its flowing water

  2. تحكي عوارضه صدغ الحبيب إذا

    دبّ العذار على خديه وافترقا

    Its banks tell of the cheek of the beloved when

    Infatuation crept on his cheeks and they blushed

  3. وشجرتان على شطيه قد ثبتا

    تقابلا مثل معشوق ومن عشقا

    And two trees on its banks stood still

    Facing each other like a lover and the one he loves

  4. كأن احداهما ذات الجمال بدت

    وتلك عاشقها يشكو لها الحرقا

    It's as if one of them is the beautiful beloved

    And the other her lover complaining to her of his burning passion
