1. قَد نَظَمَ الماءُ لُؤلُؤَ الحَبَبِ

    عِقداً لِأُمِّ السُرورِ وَالطَرَبِ

    Water has strung the pearls of bubbles

    Into a necklace for the mother of joy and rapture.

  2. فَاِستَجلِها في رُبى تَرائِبِها

    قَد حُلِّيَت بِاللُجَينِ وَالذَهَبِ

    So behold her upon the hills of her bosom,

    Adorned with silver and gold.

  3. وَالزَهرُ تيجانُهُ يُرَصِّعَها

    دُرُّ النَدى في مَفارِقِ القُضُبِ

    And the flowers—their crowns are studded

    By pearls of dew in the partings of the boughs.
