by ? ben Jafacha de Alcira (1058 - 1138)

El jardín del Al‑Andalus
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Nada más bello, andaluces,
que vuestras huertas frondosas,
jardines, bosques y ríos,
y claras fuentes sonoras.

Edén de los elegidos
es nuestra tierra dichosa;
si a mi arbitrio lo dejasen,
no viviría yo en otra.

El infierno no temáis,
ni sus penas espantosas;
que no es posible el infierno
cuando se vive en la gloria.
