شادِنٌ راحَ نَحوَ سَرْحَةِ ماءٍ

مُسْرِعاً وَجْنَتاهُ كالتُّفاحِ

The thirsty one went towards a water spring

Hurrying, his cheeks like apples

وَرَدَ الماءَ ثُمَّ راحَ وقَدْ أَصْ

دَرَهُ الماءُ في غُلالَةِ رَاحِ

He reached the water, then left as the water

Had covered him in the shade of the wind

دَقَّ حتى حَسِبْتُهُ وَرَقَ الوَرْ

دِ جَنِيّاً يَرِفُّ بينَ الرِّياحِ

Beating as if he were a rose leaf

Fluttering among the winds
