1. The breezes of joy have blown,
With the talk of maidens in bowers,

2. And they traveled and gifted the branches
The perfume of that fragrant wood,

3. They passed by the maidens intoxicated,
Bearing the scent of buds,

4. And were perfumed when they kissed,
Those smiles in the early dawn,

5. They came at dawn and intermingled,
In the pleasant fragrance of Lebanon,

6. The garden shed the spring,
Upon it like a new garment,

7. Adorned with a chain,
Like a necklace round and shining,

8. And the flowers laugh brightly
In the soft, rainy slope,

9. The hands of morning played with it,
And twisted the slender bodies at the hips,

10. And the branches clapped dancing,
Shaking above the stream,

11. Passion excited it,
Like the cooing of a languid bird,

12. Oh friend! Does the youth have
The pain of lovesickness and passion?

13. Or does the lover have anything but
Remembering the beloved from conversing?

14. Who can I have as a huntress,
Who is obsessed with torturing the captive?

15. Haifa's face shines
Like the full moon in the dark night,

16. Miyada played with her figure,
Youth played with it while walking,

17. Oh gazelle! Who stole
Hearts with her bright face,

18. Nothing was said about you gazelle,
Except for your excessive aloofness,

19. Tell her she was excessive in
Slaughtering enamored hearts,

20. Her breasts and eyes
Dazzle with vigor and languor,

21. I ransom with my soul a smile,
That locks the red wine on the lips,

22. Who can aid me in loving her,
Oh friend, or console me?

23. Pass the wine cup and serve me a drink,
And drink with the captivating gazelle,

24. And court her if you do not find,
The roses of cheeks upon the flowers,

25. Blonde, she wore dresses,
The daughter of suns to allure,

26. She wove for us in comfort,
A necklace to gild worries,

27. Long live her religion,
And her abundant joyous rain,

28. A house whose musk is diffused
By the morning breeze when passing,

29. Purity flowed in her garden,
With abundant good honey,

30. Its maidens danced around it
To the sound of tumbling rapids,

31. The branches were watered and became
Flexible like the supple branches,

32. By its great blessing,
A spring of abundant joy,

33. Surrounded by a cypress like
A spear, with silk green,

34. They watch a chain circulating
Around them like a water-bearer,

35. And it straightened its fountains
Offering it the gems of light,

36. Tall, strolling in
The dress of soft silk on a bed,

37. The braids of hair danced with it,
Appearing like attendants,

38. Dancing more and more
As the lute sang melodies,

39. Flowing, as if it were
The generous hand of the young prince,

40. For he is the prince, son of a prince
Son of a prince, son of a prince

41. And the glorious builder of the glory
Of the high ones with famed justice,

42. A master whose bestowal,
Made the sea of wealth gush forth,

43. You always see his wealth,
Clasped in the hand of the poor,

44. With the alchemy of praise, as he
Is the healer of the broken heart,

45. Good fortune to the sinner whose
Hand has won abundant generosity,

46. A noble, generous, more wonderful
Courageous, mighty refuge,

47. A hero whose sword,
Rules the brow of the intrepid hero,

48. His hands were victorious,
Despite the schemes of rivals,

49. As if he, while war rages,
And brave warriors arrive on horseback,

50. Is a lion playing with a lance,
From atop his rearing horse,

51. Erasing the darkness of its blackness,
With the brightness of his shining swords,

52. With a dark complexion that
Made hearts of horsemen like sacrifices,

53. A charming knight, except
He waters bitterness in hell,

54. As if he were Harut in
Extracting the treasures of hearts,

55. Oh master! You have mastered
The ruins of proud Lebanon,

56. A beautiful maiden came to your door,
Chaste of conscience,

57. Apologizing, boasting in you,
Poetry of Farazdaq or Jarir,

58. Sending you abundant prayers,
And praise from a grateful servant,

59. Then congratulations with a robe,
That none but you have supported,

60. Scented, it came from Najd,
To your elevation with yearning,

61. And flirted when it became
Engaged to the great Master,

62. Auspicious, whose engagement
Lasted, marched the ages,
