وَبِركَةٍ تُحمى بِأُسدٍ وَما

وَبِركَةٍ تُحمى بِأُسدٍ وَما

تَمنَعُنا الوِردَ إِذا جينا

تَمنَعُنا الوِردَ إِذا جينا

And a pool guarded by lions, yet they do not

With blessings guarded by a lion though

bar us from the water when we come.

The roses would not stop us when we came

وَما رَأَينا أُسُداً قَبلَها

وَما رَأَينا أُسُداً قَبلَها

تَمُجُّ بِالماءِ ثَعابينا

تَمُجُّ بِالماءِ ثَعابينا

And never before it have we seen lions

Before it we had never seen a lion

spouting serpents of water.

Moving through water like our snakes
