الغَيمُ رطبٌ ينادي

الغَيمُ رطبٌ ينادي

يا غافلين الصَبوحُ

يا غافلين الصَبوحُ

The cloud, heavy with rain, calls out:

The cloud is moist and calls out:

The morning clouds call to the heedless:

O heedless ones—the morning draught!

O heedless ones, the morning draught!

“Awake, awake, O sleepers!”

فقلتُ أهلاً وسهلاً

فقلتُ أهلاً وسهلاً

ما دام في الجسم رُوحُ

ما دام في الجسم رُوحُ

And I replied, “Welcome, gladly welcome,

So I said: welcome, welcome,

And I bid them welcome, for the spirit’s breath

so long as spirit remains in the body.”

as long as a soul remains in the body.

Still stirs within this mortal frame of death.
