1. رَوضةٌ جادَها الْحَيا بَلآلٍ

    قلدتْه جواهرَ الأزْهارِ

    A garden on which the rain lavished pearls;

    she garlanded him with the jewels of flowers.

  2. ضاحِكاتٌ أطْفالُ أنْهارِها إذْ

    إذْ وَعَدتْها نَسائمُ الأسْحارِ

    Laughing were the children of her rivers, when—

    when the predawn breezes promised her.
