ضَحِكَ الوَردُ في قَفا المَنثورِ

ضَحِكَ الوَردُ في قَفا المَنثورِ

وَاِستَرَحنا مِن رِعدَةِ المَقرورِ

وَاِستَرَحنا مِن رِعدَةِ المَقرورِ

The rose laughed in the wake of the stock flower.

The rose laughed in the palm's blossoming crown,

And we found relief from the shivering of the cold-stricken.

And we rested from the roar of heavy rain.

وَاِستَطَبنا المَقيلَ في بَردِ ظِلٍّ

وَاِستَطَبنا المَقيلَ في بَردِ ظِلٍّ

وَشَمَمنا الرَيحانَ بِالكافورِ

وَشَمَمنا الرَيحانَ بِالكافورِ

And we relished the noonday rest in the coolness of shade.

We enjoyed the afternoon's coolness in the shade,

And we smelled basil with camphor.

And smelled the jasmine with camphor again.

فَالرَحيلَ الرَحيلَ يا عَسكَرَ اللَذ

فَالرَحيلَ الرَحيلَ يا عَسكَرَ اللَذ

ذاتِ في كُلِّ رَوضَةٍ وَغَديرِ

ذاتِ في كُلِّ رَوضَةٍ وَغَديرِ

So away, away, O army of pleasures,

So move on, move on, O troops of joy,

in every garden and at every pool.

Through every garden and each brook.

وَاِمزُجِ النَبتَ وَاِمزُجِ الراحَ بِالثَل

وَاِمزُجِ النَبتَ وَاِمزُجِ الراحَ بِالثَل

جِ وَاِطفِئ بِالماءِ نارَ الهَجيرِ

جِ وَاِطفِئ بِالماءِ نارَ الهَجيرِ

And mingle the greenery, and mix the wine with snow,

Mix the plants and mix the winds with snow,

and quench with water the fire of the midday heat.

And quench the blaze of ardent fire.
