That water cannot rid of camphor
فَكَأَنَّso it is as though الرُبىthe hills مَراتِبُmattresses وَشيٍbrocade
فَكَأَنَّ الرُبى مَراتِبُ وَشيٍ
وَكَأَنَّand as though الرِياضَthe gardens بُسطُcarpets حَريرِsilk
وَكَأَنَّ الرِياضَ بُسطُ حَريرِ
So it is as though the hills were mattresses of brocade,
It's as if the countryside is layers of musk
And as though the gardens were carpets of silk.
And it's as if the gardens are brocade
