حبيبي أرسل أوراقهُ

حبيبي أرسل أوراقهُ

بما أعجب الصّبّ أوراقهُ

بما أعجب الصّبّ أوراقهُ

My beloved sent his papers—

My beloved sent his pages,

how greatly his papers delighted the lovesick lover!

For his pages delighted the lovesick lover.

أتت في زمان انتصاف الخريف

أتت في زمان انتصاف الخريف

وقد خلع الرّوض أطواقهُ

وقد خلع الرّوض أطواقهُ

They arrived as autumn reached its midpoint,

They arrived midway through autumn,

and the garden had already shed its necklaces.

And the garden had already cast off its necklaces.

ولا عجبٌ لزمان الخريف

ولا عجبٌ لزمان الخريف

إذا نثر الغصن أوراقهُ

إذا نثر الغصن أوراقهُ

Nor is that strange in the season of autumn,

And no wonder in autumn's season,

when the bough scatters its leaves.

When the branch scatters its leaves.
