هَبّتْ عليَّ صَباً تكادُ تَقولُ

هَبّتْ عليَّ صَباً تكادُ تَقولُ

إنِّي إليكَ منَ الحَبيبِ رَسولُ

إنِّي إليكَ منَ الحَبيبِ رَسولُ

An east breeze blew upon me, almost saying:

A morning breeze blew upon me, as if to say:

“Indeed, I am a messenger to you from the beloved.”

"I am a messenger to you from your beloved."

سَكْرى تَجشّمتِ الرُّبا لِتَزورَني

سَكْرى تَجشّمتِ الرُّبا لِتَزورَني

مِن عِلّتي وهُبوبُها تَعْليلُ

مِن عِلّتي وهُبوبُها تَعْليلُ

Intoxicated, she braved the hills to visit me

Intoxicated, having braved the seas to visit me,

Because of my illness; and her blowing brings comfort.

Curing my malady - its blowing, healing.
