سَرِّحْ جِيَادَ الَّلحْظِ فيِ ذِي الْبِطَاحْ

سَرِّحْ جِيَادَ الَّلحْظِ فيِ ذِي الْبِطَاحْ

قَدْ عَرْبَدَ النُّوَّارُ فِيهَا فَفاحْ

قَدْ عَرْبَدَ النُّوَّارُ فِيهَا فَفاحْ

Let loose the steeds of your gaze in these broad valleys.

Let loose the steeds of the moment in the valley,

Let loose the steeds of your gaze across these wide plains,

The blossoms have run riot there and spread their fragrance.

The bright stars have flickered over it and diffused their scent.

The blossoms have grown wild within them and exhaled their fragrance,

وانْظُرْ إِلىَ الْبُسْتَانِ فِي حُلَّةٍ

وانْظُرْ إِلىَ الْبُسْتَانِ فِي حُلَّةٍ

قَدْ ذَهَّبَتْهَا شمْسُ هَذا الصبَاحْ

قَدْ ذَهَّبَتْهَا شمْسُ هَذا الصبَاحْ

And look at the garden in a robe

And look upon the garden in its raiment,

And gaze upon the garden in a splendid garment

That this morning’s sun has gilded.

Divested of it by the sun of this morn.

That the sun of this morning has gilded.

وَأَيْنَعَتْ بِالنَّوْرِ أَفْنَانُهُ

وَأَيْنَعَتْ بِالنَّوْرِ أَفْنَانُهُ

فَغَرَّدَ الْقُمْرِي عَلَيْها وَصاحْ

فَغَرَّدَ الْقُمْرِي عَلَيْها وَصاحْ

And its boughs have flourished with blossoms;

Its branches flourished with the light,

Its branches have flourished with radiant blooms,

So the turtledove warbled upon them and called out.

And the nightingale trilled over it and cried out.

And upon them the turtledove has warbled and called out.

قَدْ أَقْبَلَ الأُنْسُ وَفَرًّ الأَسَى

قَدْ أَقْبَلَ الأُنْسُ وَفَرًّ الأَسَى

وَأَدْبَرَ النَّحْسُ وَجَاءَ النَّجَاحْ

وَأَدْبَرَ النَّحْسُ وَجَاءَ النَّجَاحْ

Delight has arrived, and sorrow has fled;

Comfort has come and sorrow has fled,

Delight has approached and sorrow has fled,

And ill fortune has departed, and success has come.

Misfortune has departed and success arrived.

Misfortune has retreated and success has arrived.

فَاشْرَبْ طِلَى الأَفْراحِ في ظِلِّهِ

فَاشْرَبْ طِلَى الأَفْراحِ في ظِلِّهِ

فَلَيْسَ في كَاسَاتِهَا مِنْ جُناحْ

فَلَيْسَ في كَاسَاتِهَا مِنْ جُناحْ

So drink the wine of joys in its shade,

So drink the potion of joys in its shade,

So drink the wine of joys within its shade,

For there is no sin in their cups.

For there is no sin in its cups.

For there is no sin within its cups.
