1. أَنَا طَاقُ تَزْهُو بِيَ الأَيَّامُ

    تَعِبَتْ فِي بَدَائِعِي الأَفْهَامُ

    I am a vessel overflowing with the days

    In my wonders the minds grew weary

  2. وَتَبَدَّيْتُ لِلنَّوَاظِرِ مِحْرَا

    باً كَأَنَّ الإِنَاءَ فِيَّ إِمَامُ

    And I appeared to onlookers red

    Like a jug in me is a prayer leader

  3. وَاقِفٌ لِلصَّلاةِ حَتَّى إِذَا مَا

    جِئْتَ للِشُّرْبِ حَانَ مِنْهُ سَلاَمُ

    Standing for prayer until when you came

    To drink, from it came greetings
