1. هَوى وَغَلَت بِهِ الأَحشاء مِنها

    إِلى حَيثُ اِستَقَرَّ بِهِ مَداها

    It descended, and her entrails seethed with it,

    to where their furthest reach came to rest with it.

  2. جَرى وَالماءُ في سَنَن فَلما اِن

    تَهَت بِالماءِ غايَتُهُ طَواها

    It flowed with the water along one course; then, when

    its course ended with the water, it enfolded her.

  3. فَحَلَّ بِحَيثُ لَم يَبلُغ شَراب

    وَلَم تحلل بِهِ أُنثى سِواها

    So it settled where no drink had reached,

    and where no female other than her had dwelt.
