أرى في البهار النرجسي تلألؤاً

أرى في البهار النرجسي تلألؤاً

عيون الورى مشغوفةً بالتماحه

عيون الورى مشغوفةً بالتماحه

I see a radiance in the narcissus-like bahār blossom,

I see in the narcissus garden a radiance

the eyes of humankind enamored of beholding it.

The eyes of the world are passionately admiring its beauty

كأن الرياض الخض صغن لباسه

كأن الرياض الخض صغن لباسه

بشكلين من ماء الغمام وراحه

بشكلين من ماء الغمام وراحه

As though the green gardens had fashioned its robe

As if the green meadows have worn its dress

in two hues, from the cloud's water and its wine;

In two types of cloud and comfort water

أو الدهر رداه سروراً بشخصه

أو الدهر رداه سروراً بشخصه

رداءئن من إسفاره وصباحه

رداءئن من إسفاره وصباحه

or Time, rejoicing in its form, had clothed it

Or time has clothed it with joy in its figure

in two robes of its dawning light and its morning.

With clothes of its dawn and morning

فحلته في لونها ذهبيةً

فحلته في لونها ذهبيةً

وفضيةٌ أثناء عقد وشاحه

وفضيةٌ أثناء عقد وشاحه

Thus its robe is golden in hue,

Its ornaments in their colors are golden

and silver are the loops of its beaded sash.

And silvery during its beads and scarf

جمال به حل الربيع عراره

جمال به حل الربيع عراره

ومن كسى لا شك نور أقاحه

ومن كسى لا شك نور أقاحه

A beauty with which Spring adorned its ʿarār flowers

A beauty in which the spring has worn its finery

and with which it surely clothed its daisy blossoms,

And the one who clothed it undoubtedly the light of its brilliance

كما قد تحلى الدهر من بعد عطلةٍ

كما قد تحلى الدهر من بعد عطلةٍ

بجود ابن عبادٍ وفضل سماحه

بجود ابن عبادٍ وفضل سماحه

just as Time, after being unadorned, has decked itself

As time has adorned itself after a break

with Ibn ʿAbbād's bounty and his abundant generosity.

With the generosity of Ibn Abbad and the favor of its tolerance

به نيلت الآمال في كل بغيةٍ

به نيلت الآمال في كل بغيةٍ

وبوشر برد الأمان تحت جناحه

وبوشر برد الأمان تحت جناحه

Through him, hopes were fulfilled in every quest,

With it hopes were attained in every desire

and beneath his wing the coolness of safety was felt.

And the coolness of safety was announced under its wing
