How beautiful is the time that God has made sweet,

لله ما أحلاه من زمن عذب

And how fragrant are the roses.

وما أشهاه من ورد

2. The days when love possessed my eternity,
In the gatherings of cheeks and stature.

٢. أيام ملّكت الهوى خلدي
في مائس الأعطاف والقدِّ

And brought together the garment of luxury and comfort.

ونظمت شمل العيشة الرغدِ

4. So I reaped from the fruit of my hopes my wishes,
And squeezed the sapling of new shoots.

٤. فجنيت من ثمر المنى أملي
وهصرت يانع قضبة المُلدِ

5. And in the phases of its rule, I reached
The utmost of my will and the end of my aim.

٥. وبلغت في أطوار دولته
أقصى المراد وغاية القصدِ

6. And the steeds of youth frolicked playfully,
And I raced in its field with my effort.

٦. وركضت أفراس الصِّبا مرحاً
وجريت في ميدانه جهدي
