1. بِثَغرٍ قَد سُقينَ المِسكَ مِنهُ

    مَساويكُ البَشامِ وَمِن غُروبِ

    From a mouth we were given musk to drink—

    the tooth-sticks of the balsam tree—and from gleaming tooth-edges,

  2. وَمِن مَجرى غَوارِبِ أُقحُوانٍ

    شَتيتِ النَبتِ في عامٍ خَصيبِ

    and from the channel of chamomile crests,

    of scattered growth in a fertile year.
