غرّدَ الطيرُ .. لصُبحٍ أطلَعك

غرّدَ الطيرُ .. لصُبحٍ أطلَعك

واستفاق الوردُ في زهوٍ .. معك

واستفاق الوردُ في زهوٍ .. معك

The birds sang for a dawn that brought you forth.

The birds chirped for a morning that revealed you,

And the roses awoke in splendor with you.

And roses awoke in a splendor with you,

وانحَنتْ للكونِ  شمسٌ خلُـتها

وانحَنتْ للكونِ شمسٌ خلُـتها

غادَرتْ عرشَ السّما كَي تَتبعك

غادَرتْ عرشَ السّما كَي تَتبعك

And a sun bowed to the universe—I imagined it

A sun bowed to the universe that it created,

had left the sky’s throne to follow you.

It left the throne of the sky so it could follow you.
