I love the north wind when it comes,
I love the north wind when it blows,
I love the North Wind whenever it draws near,
for it was said to have passed by the beloved’s home.
For it is said it passed by my beloved's abode.
For they say it has passed by the beloved's abode.

And no doubt he does likewise
Without doubt it would do so,
And without a doubt, such is his way,
when the south wind meets him.
If the southern wind were to meet it.
When he is met by the wind from the South.

غَناءٌ قَليلٌ وَحُزنٌ طَويلٌ

Little benefit and long sorrow—
A little singing, and much sorrow,
Of little solace and lasting despair,
the winds’ reception of what lies in hearts.
The winds encounter, for what lies in hearts.
Is greeting the winds for the sake of the heart.
