1. شَقُّوا البُحَيرةَ سَبحا مَن بِسَبحِهِمُ

    تِجارةُ العينِ في مَراهُمُ رَبِحَت

    They cleaved the lake, swimming—those through whose swimming

    The eye’s trade profited in beholding them.

  2. وما رأيتُ ظباءً قطُّ قبلَهُم

    في البرَّ قَد سَنَحت والبحرِ قد سَبَحَت

    And never before them have I seen gazelles

    That appeared on land and swam in the sea.
