أعْطِرْ بخيريِّنا نَسِيماً
كأنَّهُas though it فيin الظَّلامِthe darkness نَدُّfragrant incense
كأنَّهُ في الظَّلامِ نَدُّ
How fragrant is our wallflower's breeze!
Perfume the breeze with our goodness
As though it were fragrant incense in the darkness.
As if it in the darkness glows
لكِنَّهُbut it يَخْتَفيdisappears نَهاراًby day
لكِنَّهُ يَخْتَفي نَهاراً
فهوَso it لزَهْرِto the flowers of الرِّياضِthe gardens ضِدُّan opposite
فهوَ لزَهْرِ الرِّياضِ ضِدُّ
Yet it disappears by day,
But it disappears in daylight
So it is the opposite of the garden's flowers.
So it's the opposite of the garden's blossoms
كأنَّهُas though it إذwhen يَضُوعُgives off fragrance لَيْلاًat night
كأنَّهُ إذ يَضُوعُ لَيْلاً
مِنْfrom مِسْكَةِthe musk of الدَّجْنِthe gloom يُسْتَمدُّis drawn
مِنْ مِسْكَةِ الدَّجْنِ يُسْتَمدُّ
As though, when it gives off fragrance at night,
As if when it shines at night
It were drawn from the musk of the gloom.
It draws from the musk of the night
