1. The mouth of time smiled
At the melody of singing birds
١. ثَغْرُ الزَّمَانِ تَبَسَّمْ
مِنْ شَدْوِ طَيْرٍ تَرَنَّمْ
2. And the rose displayed rubies
Sprinkled with speckled dew
٢. وَالْوَرْدُ أَبْدَى عَقِيقاً
بِشَذْرِ تِبْرٍ مُعَلَّمْ
3. As if it were, with its dew,
A radiant veiled face
٣. كَأَنَّهُ بِنَدَاهُ
وَجْهٌ صَبِيحٌ مُلَثَّمْ
