1. اليوم منكِ عرفتُ سر وجودي

    وعرفتُ من معناك معنى العيد

    Today, from you I learned the secret of my existence.

    And from your meaning I learned the meaning of the festival.

  2. ما كنت بالفاني وسرُّك حافظي

    وبمقلتيك ضَمِنتُ كلَّ خلودي

    I was not one to perish, with your secret guarding me.

    And through your eyes I secured all my immortality.

  3. الآن أعرف ما الحياة وطيبُها

    وأقول للأيّام طبتِ فعودي

    Now I know what life is, and its sweetness.

    And I tell the days, "You have become sweet, so return!"

  4. عاد الربيع على يديك وأشرقت

    روحي وأورق في ربيعك عودي

    Spring returned at your hands, and radiant grew

    My soul; and my bough put forth leaves in your spring.
