ودونكَها يا رَوْضَةَ الجُودِ والنَّدى

ودونكَها يا رَوْضَةَ الجُودِ والنَّدى

بواكيرَ زهرِ مِثْلِ نَشْرِكَ مِعْطارِ

بواكيرَ زهرِ مِثْلِ نَشْرِكَ مِعْطارِ

And take them, O garden of bounty and generosity,

With you lies its fragrance, O garden of generosity and dew

Early blossoms, fragrant like your scent.

First fruits of a flower, like your scattering of perfume

بَعثْتَ بها عَنْ خَجْلةٍ وتوَقُّفٍ

بَعثْتَ بها عَنْ خَجْلةٍ وتوَقُّفٍ

فَمِنْ سَفَهٍ إتحافُ رَوْضٍ بِنُوَّارِ

فَمِنْ سَفَهٍ إتحافُ رَوْضٍ بِنُوَّارِ

You sent them out of bashfulness and hesitation,

You sent it from shyness and hesitation

For giving blossoms to a garden is folly.

So it would be foolish for a garden to gift light
