أَنَا طَاقُ تَزْهُو بِيَ الأَيَّامُ

أَنَا طَاقُ تَزْهُو بِيَ الأَيَّامُ

تَعِبَتْ فِي بَدَائِعِي الأَفْهَامُ

تَعِبَتْ فِي بَدَائِعِي الأَفْهَامُ

I am an arch in which the days take pride;

I am a vessel overflowing with the days

Minds have wearied over my marvels.

In my wonders the minds grew weary

وَتَبَدَّيْتُ لِلنَّوَاظِرِ مِحْرَا

وَتَبَدَّيْتُ لِلنَّوَاظِرِ مِحْرَا

باً كَأَنَّ الإِنَاءَ فِيَّ إِمَامُ

باً كَأَنَّ الإِنَاءَ فِيَّ إِمَامُ

And I appeared to gazing eyes as a prayer-

And I appeared to onlookers red

niche, as though the vessel within me were an imam,

Like a jug in me is a prayer leader

وَاقِفٌ لِلصَّلاةِ حَتَّى إِذَا مَا

وَاقِفٌ لِلصَّلاةِ حَتَّى إِذَا مَا

جِئْتَ للِشُّرْبِ حَانَ مِنْهُ سَلاَمُ

جِئْتَ للِشُّرْبِ حَانَ مِنْهُ سَلاَمُ

Standing for prayer, until, when

Standing for prayer until when you came

You come to drink, it is time for his salutation of peace.

To drink, from it came greetings
