1. بِكَ اِبتَعتُ في نَهرِ الأَبلة ضَيعَة

    عَلَيها قصيرٌ بِالرخامِ مَشيدُ

    Through you I bought an estate along the canal of al-Ubulla.

    On it stands a little palace built of marble.

  2. إِلَى جَنبِها أُختٌ لَها يَعرِضونَها

    وَعِندَكَ مالٌ لِلهِباتِ عَتيدُ

    Beside it is a sister estate, which they are offering for sale.

    And you have money ready for gifts.
