لَقَد طالَت شُهُورُ الصَيفِ حَتّى

لَقَد طالَت شُهُورُ الصَيفِ حَتّى

بَرِمتُ بِحرِّ تَمّوزٍ وَآبِ

بَرِمتُ بِحرِّ تَمّوزٍ وَآبِ

Indeed, the summer months have lasted so long that

The summer months have lingered long

I have grown weary of the heat of Tammuz and Ab.

And I'm weary of July and August heat

وَيُعجِبُني الخَريفُ وَإِنّ قَلبي

وَيُعجِبُني الخَريفُ وَإِنّ قَلبي

لحرِّ زَمانِ آبٍ جَدّ آبي

لحرِّ زَمانِ آبٍ جَدّ آبي

And autumn delights me, and indeed my heart

Though autumn pleases me, my heart

is utterly averse to the heat of Ab’s season.

Longs for the heat of August yet
