1. إِنَّ للفيجة الفريدة عينا

    فوقها ما تحار فيه النعوتُ

    Indeed, peerless al-Fijah has a spring;

    Above it is something that leaves descriptions bewildered.

  2. ثم للقواصيا مثلتها

    في صفاها كأنَّه مثبوتُ

    Then al-Qawasiya has its counterpart,

    In its clarity, as though it were fixed in place.

  3. وهي كنز من اللجين وما أَح

    سنَ كنزاً حصباؤه الياقوتُ

    And it is a treasure of silver—and how

    Beautiful a treasure whose pebbles are rubies!
