1. أَحسِن بِداري إِذا لاحَت مَجالِسُها

    وَقَد خَلَعتُ عَلَيها خَيرَ مَلبوسِ

    How lovely my home is when its sitting rooms come into view,

    Now that I have clothed it in the finest attire:

  2. مِن كُلِّ طِنفِسَةٍ زَهراءَ مُشرِقَةٍ

    كَأَنَّها نُسِجَت مِن ريشِ طاووسِ

    Radiant, gleaming carpets of every kind,

    As though woven from peacock feathers.

  3. إِذا جَلَستُ عَلَيها ظَلتُ مُبتَهِجا

    كَأَنَّ جالِسٌ في عَرشِ بِلقيسِ

    When I sit upon them, I remain delighted,

    As though seated on the throne of Bilqis.
