1. جَدّدُوا الأنْسَ بِالمَقامِ الجَديدِ

    مَا على شَوقِنَا لَهُ مِنْ مَزيدِ

    Renew the joy of fellowship at the new abode.

    Our longing for it could not be greater.

  2. فَاصْحبُوا لِلسُّرورِ كُلَّ مُواتٍ

    واحفَظوا الجَمعَ مِن حُضورِ البَلِيدِ

    So, for joy, keep company with every congenial person.

    And guard the gathering from the dullard’s presence.

  3. هَذهِ قُبّةُ السُّرور ِدَعَتكُمْ

    كَيفَ تَنأونَ عَنْ قِبابِ السُّعودِ

    This dome of joy has called you;

    How can you keep away from the domes of good fortune?

  4. طَلَعَتْ لِلوجودِ مِنْ عِلمِ غَيبٍ

    طَلعَةَ النَّجمِ مِنْ سَحائِبِ سُودِ

    It rose into being from knowledge of the unseen,

    Like a star rising from black clouds,

  5. أو كَغيدَاءَ جُمِّلَتْ للتَّجَلِي

    ألحَقوهَا العِقَاصَ بَعدَ العُقُودِ

    Or like a graceful maiden adorned for her unveiling:

    They added braids to her after the necklaces.
