1. Ride at dawn in the time of early morn
In the season of chamomile and scattered pearls
١. باكِرِ الراحَ في أَوانِ البُكورِ
في زَمانِ الشَقيقِ وَالمَنثورِ
2. And mount the camel-litter if you are one
Who desires to journey on the path of joy
٢. وَاِركَبِ الإِنخِلاعَ إِن كُنتَ مِمَّن
يَشتَهي السَيرَ في طَريقِ السُرورِ
3. It is as though the meadows are the wrists of a beloved
And as though the gardens are swathes of silk
٣. فَكَأَنَّ الرُبى مَساوَرُ وَشيٍ
وَكَأَنَّ الرِياضَ بُسطُ حَريرِ
