1. Greetings to you, o refined mouth of life,
In a garden whose face is beautiful,
١. حَيَّاكَ ثغرُ الحَيَا النَّظِيمُ
فِي رَوْضَةٍ وَجْهُهَا وَسِيمُ
2. The branches flourished with it, bending over,
As the breeze rose on her face,
٢. صَحَّتْ بِهَا القُضْبُ في التثنِّي
فَاعْتَلَّ فِي وَجْهِهَا النَّسِيمُ
3. And a preacher stood in her bosom,
For him I have a permanent seat.
٣. وَقَامَ فِي أيْكِهَا خَطِيبٌ
عِنْدِي لَهُ المُقعِد المُقِيمُ
