وبارزةٍ بين أحبارِها

وبارزةٍ بين أحبارِها

بروز الشموس لإسفارها

بروز الشموس لإسفارها

And a woman unveiled among her clerics,

Shining among her companions

Emerging like suns in their radiance.

Like suns rising for their journeys

وقد فصلت بين ثِقل الكثيب

وقد فصلت بين ثِقل الكثيب

ولين القضيب بزُنَّارها

ولين القضيب بزُنَّارها

And she has separated the sand dune's heaviness

She has separated between the heaviness of the dune

From the branch's suppleness with her girdle.

And the softness of the meadow with her beauty

تمِيس كمثل غصون الرياض

تمِيس كمثل غصون الرياض

وتضحك عن مثل نُوّارها

وتضحك عن مثل نُوّارها

She sways like the branches of gardens,

She smiles like the branches of gardens

And smiles, revealing teeth like their blossoms.

And laughs beyond her shining teeth

ترى الماء والنار في خدّها

ترى الماء والنار في خدّها

قد امتزجا فوق أبشارِها

قد امتزجا فوق أبشارِها

You see water and fire in her cheek:

You see water and fire in her cheek

They have mingled upon her skin.

Mixed above her radiant face

فلا النارُ تعدو على مائها

فلا النارُ تعدو على مائها

ولا الماءُ يعدو على نارها

ولا الماءُ يعدو على نارها

So the fire does not encroach upon her water,

Neither can the fire transgress her water

Nor does the water encroach upon her fire.

Nor the water transgress her fire
