رأيت مهري بحراً

رأيت مهري بحراً

يكل عنه الجياد

I saw my colt as an ocean;

I saw my colt as a sea;

I saw my beloved a sea,

the finest steeds fall short before him.

Steeds grow weary trying to match him.

Too great for steeds to swim,

يعطي افانين جري

يعطي افانين جري

فهو الكريم الجواد

فهو الكريم الجواد

He displays every art of galloping—

He offers many styles of running,

Who freely gives his flowing stream,

for he is the noble, generous steed.

For he is noble and generous.

The generous and the free.
