تَهادينا الزُهورُ فَعطرتنا

تَهادينا الزُهورُ فَعطرتنا

وَلِلنَّسمات تَعطير مصاعف

وَلِلنَّسمات تَعطير مصاعف

We exchanged flowers as gifts, and they perfumed us;

And the breezes have a redoubled perfume.

سَأَلنا ما الَّذي أَزكى شَذاها

سَأَلنا ما الَّذي أَزكى شَذاها

فَقيل لاِنَّها نَفَحات آصف

فَقيل لاِنَّها نَفَحات آصف

We asked what had made their fragrance sweeter;

We were told: “Because they are Asif’s fragrant breaths.”
