1. Winter came veiled in its clouds
Greetings, O sultan of the seasons, welcome!

2. Revere its mighty kingship
Whose battalions spread over plains and hills

3. A season when each is given its due merit
To blossom or luxuriate or turn green

4. When spring adorns itself with splendid light
And its mornings are perfumed and sweet

5. The blossoms of flowers are lavishly decorated
Embroidered, embellished, exquisite and gilded

6. You see the rose's petals blushing red
You see the flowers smile with curving lips

7. The slender branches sway lightly
When the dew waters them generously

8. Birds flutter on the tips of branches
Singing melodiously or chirping merrily

9. The gentle river dons its armor
When the horses of the morning breeze clash with it

10. Leaves murmur, brooks babble
Reeds dance as time adorns itself

11. Summer comes next leaving its traces
Fertile furrows of generosity in its wake

12. It clothes existence in robes of warmth
Rising and setting radiantly

13. Bearing fruits of every kind
Everything craved is freely granted

14. Autumn follows dispensing once more
The beauty and sweetness of spring

15. It carpets the garden with its leaves
In myriad hues arrayed and paired

16. The morning breeze heralds glad tidings
Of the imminent winter, giving it welcome

17. The thunder of clouds rumbles
As lightning frolics and flickers

18. Thus the seasons cycle successively
Till their beauty and order perfects

19. Winter's substance and beauty derives
From what it gained from life and love

20. Each gives its share of joy and refinement
According to its ideal and capacity

21. Truth bears witness that their system
And kingdom was held by the pouring clouds
