Hind went out one day with Fawz and Su'ad

خرجت هند ذات يوم وفوز

1. Hind went out one day with Fawz and Su'ad
Wandering aimlessly, not seeking a destination

١. خَرَجَتْ هِنْدُ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ وَفَوْزٌ
وَسُعَادٌ يَهِمْنَ مِنْ غَيْرِ قَصدِ

2. Playing lightheartedly, leaving behind all seriousness
Seeing wonders, as if everything was new

٢. يَتَهَادَيْنَ فِي الرِّيَاضِ أَصِيلاً
لاَعِبَاتٍ توَارِكاً كُلَّ جِدِّ

3. It was autumn, the weather at its finest
The sun neither too hot nor too cold

٣. فَرِحَاتٍ يَرَيْنَ مَا أَلِفَتْهُ
كُلُّ عيْنٍ كَحَادِثٍ مُسْتَجَدِّ

4. Sometimes it appeared as strokes of splendor
Other times scattering petals on the horizon

٤. كَانَ فَصْلُ الْخَرِيفِ وَالوَقْتُ أَصْفَى
مَا يَكُونُ اعْتِدَالُ حَرٍّ وَبَرْدِ

5. And in the branches an intricate weaving
Of vitality, more radiant than emeralds

٥. تَبْعَثُ الشَّمْسُ بَاهِرَاتِ شِعَاعٍ
تَغْتَدِي فِي انْحِدَارِهَا شِبْهَ رُبْدِ

6. Hind approached a garden and said
As she fiddled with the gems of her necklace

٦. فَهْيَ فِي الأُفْقِ تَارَةً مَسَحَاتٌ
مِنْ بَهَارٍ وَتَارَة نَثْرُ وَرْدِ

7. “Look my friends, doesn’t it seem
Like a home with many roots and children?”

٧. وَهْيَ بَيْنَ الْغُصُونِ نَسْجٌ دَقِيقٌ
مِنْ نُضَارٍ يَشِفُّ عَنْ لاَزوَرْدِ

8. “How lovely are these ripe fruits
That every child clings to like a breast”

٨. شَارَفَتْ هِنْدُ رَوْضَةً ثُمَّ قَالَتْ
وَهْيَ تَفْتَر عَنْ جَوَاهِرِ عِقْدِ

9. “And my grandfather is a stubborn old goat
He's always grumbling like my grandfather”

٩. أُنْظُرَاهَا خَلِيلَتَيَّ أَلَيْسَتْ
شِبْهَ بَيْتٍ كَثِيرِ أَصْلٍ وَوُلْدِ

10. They laughed at Hind’s words
And swayed away from idle chatter

١٠. حَبَّذَا هَذِهِ الثَّمَارُ الرضِيعَا
تُ تَعَلَّقْنَ كُلُّ طفِلٍ بِنَهْدِ

11. “How strange this sight was to the friends
Even though it was so familiar”

١١. وَبِجَدِّي شَيْخٌ مِنْ الدَّوْحِ صُلْبٌ
هُوِ ثَرْثَارَةٌ عَبُوسٌ كَجَدِّي

12. They wandered further left and right
Without feeling any hardship

١٢. فَتَضَاحَكْنَ مِنْ مَقَالَةِ هِنْدِ
وَتَمَايَلْنَ عَنْ أَفَانِينَ رَنْدِ

13. Their minds free of every worry
Their hearts empty of all passion

١٣. عَجَباً كَانَ لِلصَّوَاحِبِ مَرَأَى
كُلِّ هَذَا وَكَانَ مَأْلُوفُ عَهْدِ

14. Fawz glimpsed something that delighted her
And gestured to Su'ad and Hind

١٤. فَتَمَادَيْنَ فِي المَسِيرِ يَمِيناً
وَشِمَالاً وَمَا شَعَرْنَ بِكَدِّ

15. “What do you think those wild fruits are
Like little suns in the distance?”

١٥. صَافِيَاتِ الأَفْكَارَِ مِنْ كُلِّ هَمٍّ
خَالِيَاتِ الْقُلُوبِ مِنْ كُلِّ وَجْدِ

16. “They're like oranges but without the peel
That she offers to her beloved as a rose”

١٦. لَمَحَتْ فَوْزُ لَمْحَةً أَعْجَبَتْهَا
فَأَشَارَتْ إِلَى سُعَادَ وَهِنْدَ

17. “We don’t know,” they said. “Help us
If you know what I desire”

١٧. مَا تُرَى هَذِهِ الثِّمَارُ الْبَوادِي
كَشُمُوسٍ صَغِيرَةٍ عَنْ بُعْدِ

18. “How wicked if we stole some for ourselves
I'm afraid to do it alone”

١٨. هِيَ كَالْبُرْتُقَالِ لَوْلاَ شِفَاهٌ
قدَّمَتْهَا لِلْعُودِ بُغْيَةَ وَردِ

19. Just then a guard appeared unexpectedly
Like the devil disguised as a servant

١٩. قَالَتَا لاَ نَدْرِي فَقَالَتْ أَعَوْناً
مِنْكُمَا إِنْ عَلِمْتُمَا مَا بِوِدِّي

20. They shied away but he greeted them kindly
Though misery shone from his dark complexion

٢٠. حَبَّذَا الإِثْمُ لَوْ لَطُفْنَا إِلَيْهَا
سَارِقَاتٍ أَخَافُ أَفْعَلُ وَحْدِي

21. “Sir guard, tell us who owns this house
It seems a home of glory”

٢١. وَإِذَا حَارِس بَدَا مِنْ خَفُاءٍ
كَتَرَائِي الشَّيْطَانِ فِي شَكْلِ عَبْدِ

22. “It's Prince Yusuf’s house,” said the Negro
And they praised him excellently

٢٢. فَتَهَيَّبْنَهُ فَحَيَّا بَشُوشاً
عَنْ وَمِيضٍ فِي حَالِكٍ مُسْوَدِّ

23. They drew back silently, awe-struck
None of them repeated or explained

٢٣. قُلْنَ يَا حَارِسَ المَكَانِ أَفِدْنَا
لَمِنِ الْبَيْتُ إِنَّهُ بَيْتُ مَجْدِ

24. Sad for their missed chance, longing
Fawz left frustrated and opposed

٢٤. قَالَ بَيْتُ الأَمِيرِ يُوسُفَ هَذَا
فَحَمِدْنَ الزُّنْجِيَّ أَحْسَنَ حَمْدِ

25. Gazing at the setting suns that
Sank away from them like sleepy eyes

٢٥. وَتَرَاجَعْنَ هَيْبَةٌ صَامِتَاتٍ
لَيْسَ مِنْهُنَّ مَنْ تُعِيدُ وَتُبْدِي

26. Imagining their scent, sweet drink, and taste
Like perfume, honeyed water, syrup

٢٦. آسِفَاتٍ عَلَى مُنىً شَائِقَاتٍ
فُزْنَ مِنْهَا بِخَيْبَةٍ وَبِصَدِّ

27. This was their concern - could there still
Be in this state, a chance of happiness?

٢٧. نَاظِرَاتٍ إِلَى الشُّمُوسِ اللَّوَاتِي
ُدْنَ عَنْهَا بِمِثْلِ أَعْيُنِ رُمْدِ

28. That time was so good before ignorance
Ruined its most beautiful era

٢٨. يَتَصَوَّرْنَهَا عَبِيراً ذَكِيّاً
وَشَرَاباً عَذْباً وَطَعْمَاً كَشُهْدِ

29. That day, those fruits were the finest thing
And the prince himself was their lord

٢٩. كَانَ هَذَا لَهُنَّ هَماً وَهَلْ فِي
حَالَةٍ بَعْدَهُ مَظِنَّةُ سَعْدِ

٣٠. نِعْمَ ذَاكَ الزَّمَانٌ كَانَ عَلَى مَا
أَفسَدَ الجَّهلُ فِيهِ أَطيَبَ عَهْدِ

٣١. يَومَ تِلكَ الثِّمارُ أَنفَسَ شَيءٍ
عِندَهُم وَالأميرُ فِيهِم أَفَندِي
