1. غَريبٌ بِأَقصى الشَرقِ يَشكُرُ لِلصَبا

    تَحَمُّلَها مِنهُ السَلامَ إِلى الغَربِ

    A stranger in the farthest East thanks the east wind

    for carrying his greeting to the West.

  2. وَما ضَرَّ أَنفاسَ الصَبا في اِحتِمالِها

    سَلامَ هَوىً يُهديهِ جِسمٌ إِلى قَلبِ

    And what harm befell the breaths of the east wind in bearing

    a greeting of love that a body sends to a heart?
