1. Grace me with the songster of poems
For the era of splendor has come upon us
١. عَلِّلاَنِي بِمُطْرِبِ الأَشْعَارِ
فَلَقَدْ جَاءَنَا زَمَانُ النُّوَارِ
2. And blend it with a melody that revives the soul
I ransomed you from all strangers
٢. وَامْزِجَاهُ بِغُنَّةٍ تُنْعِشُ الْفِكْ
رَ فُدِيتُمْ مِنْ سَائِرِ الأَغْيَارِ
3. Among roses, lilies, thorns
And anemones, narcissi, and spring flowers
٣. بَيْنَ وَرْدٍ وَسَوْسَنٍ وَأَقَاحٍ
وَشَقِيقٍ وَنَرْجِسٍ وَبَهَارِ
4. We seize a moment of clear nights’ serenity
Soon we will pass on to the Forgiving
٤. نَغْتَنِمُ بُرْهَةً صَفَاءَ لَيَالٍ
عَنْ قَرِيبٍ نَمْضِي إِلَى غَفَّارِ
