O master, his traits are fragrant

يا سيدا أرجت طيبا شمائله

1. O master, his traits are fragrant
And his hair resembles the beauty of his messages

١. يا سيِّداً أَرِجتْ طِيباً شمائِلُهُ
وشاكَلَتْ شِعْرَهُ حُسْناً رَسَائِلُهُ

2. Seeking from me what he does not ignore
Nor what the one tasked with detail is ignorant of

٢. وسَائِلاً لِيَ عَمَّا لَيْسَ يَجْهَلُهُ
ولا الَّذِي كُلِّفَ التَّفْصِيلَ جاهِلُهُ

3. The rose is a pact and blossoming, your pact's freshness does not
Let its latter sweetness make one forget its beginnings

٣. الوَرْدُ عَهْداً ونَشْراً صِنْوُ عهْدِكَ لا
تُنْسِي أَواخِرَهُ طِيباً أَوائِلُهُ

4. And its connection in both states is imperative
Alike are its cutter in ignorance and its connector

٤. ووَصْلُه في كِلا الحالَيْنِ مُفْتَرَضٌ
سِيّانِ قاطِعُهُ جَهْلاً وواصِلُهُ

5. So the lute trembles and the flute follows it
And the passing breeze has stirred its warblers

٥. فالعُودُ يَخْفُقُ والمِزْمَارُ يَتْبَعُهُ
وهاجِرُ الرّاحِ قد هاجَتْ بَلابِلُهُ

6. Inform with the like of what you know
Our days and youth defy its separations

٦. تُخْبِرْ بِمِثْلِ الَّذِي أَنْتَ العَلِيمُ به
أَيَّامُنَا والصِّبَا تُعْصَى عواذِلُهُ
