1. هَنيئاً غَدَوتُم في رِياضِ مَسَرّةٍ

    بطلعتكم تاهَت عَلى جَنةِ الخُلدِ

    Joy be yours: you are now in gardens of delight;

    Through your presence, they boast of surpassing the Garden of Eternity.

  2. فَمَن لي بهاتيكَ الرِّياضِ وَحسنها

    وَمَن لي بِذاك اللَحنِ وَالعطرِ وَالندِّ

    So who will grant me those gardens and their beauty?

    And who will grant me that melody, perfume, and incense?

  3. وَمَن لي بِذاكَ الأُنسِ بَل هُوَ مُنيَتي

    إِذا حزته لَم يَبقَ مِن مُنيةٍ عِندي

    And who will grant me that companionship? Indeed, it is my desire:

    If I attain it, I shall have no further wish.

  4. إِذا ضَمّني يَوماً وَإِيَّاك مَجلِسٌ

    تَشاغل في مَعناك عَن غَيرِهِ رشدي

    If one day a gathering brings you and me together,

    My reason becomes absorbed in your essence, heedless of all else.
