1. وَأَنتِ كمَثلُوجِ صَفا فِى قَرارةٍ

    عَلَى مَتنِ صَفوانٍ بِمَجرَى المَهالِكِ

    And you are like snow-chilled water pooled in a hollow of rock,

    On the surface of smooth stone, in a perilous watercourse,

  2. يُشابُ بِما تَجنِى النِّحالُ وَتَأتَرِى

    بِأَوعَرَ مِن عَروانَ صَعبِ المَسَالِكِ

    Blended with what the bees gather and harvest,

    In terrain rougher than Arwān, with paths hard to travel.
