1. يَسيلُ ماءُ الندى من بين أنمُله

    حتى يكادُ نداهُ يُغرق الجُلسا

    The water of bounty flows from between his fingertips,

    until his bounty nearly drowns his seated companions.

  2. كفُّ تُسالم مَنْ يلقاه مُستلما

    كما تُقاسمَ من يأتيه مُلتمسا

    A hand that greets whoever meets him to touch it reverently,

    just as it shares with whoever comes to him seeking a gift.

  3. فتشبه الحجر المرفوع ملتثماً

    وتُشبه الحجر المحمول منبجسا

    Thus it resembles the raised stone when kissed,

    and resembles the carried stone when gushing forth.
