وَالصِبا يَجلُبُ الغَمامَ إِلَينا

وَالصِبا يَجلُبُ الغَمامَ إِلَينا

فَتَرى القَطرَ لِلرِياضِ نَديما

فَتَرى القَطرَ لِلرِياضِ نَديما

And the east wind brings the clouds to us,

The breeze brings the clouds to us,

So you see the rain as the gardens' boon companion,

So you see the raindrops as a guest of the gardens.

وَتَرى لِلغُصونِ فيها نَجِيّاً

وَتَرى لِلغُصونِ فيها نَجِيّاً

وَعَلى زَهرَةِ الرِياضِ نَميما

وَعَلى زَهرَةِ الرِياضِ نَميما

And see it there as a confidant to the boughs,

And you see the branches have in them a companion,

And a teller of secrets about the gardens' blossom.

And on the garden's flowers a whisperer.

وَشَرابٌ طَوى الزَمانَ فَحاكى

وَشَرابٌ طَوى الزَمانَ فَحاكى

نَفَسَ الوَردُ رِقَّةً وَنَسيما

نَفَسَ الوَردُ رِقَّةً وَنَسيما

And a wine that has folded time away, and so resembles

A drink which has passed time, so it resembled

The breath of roses in delicacy and fragrance.

The breath of roses in softness and breeze.

إِن يَكُن بِالعُقولِ غَيرَ رَحيمٍ

إِن يَكُن بِالعُقولِ غَيرَ رَحيمٍ

فَهوَ بِالروحِ لا يَزالُ رَحيما

فَهوَ بِالروحِ لا يَزالُ رَحيما

If it is not merciful to minds,

If it is with reason unkind,

Then it remains merciful to the soul.

With the soul it remains ever kind.
