They said, “Dawn has shone.” I said, “Your faces
They said: The dawn has brightened. I said: Your faces
are the light of morning and the splendor of lights.
Are the dawn's light and the splendor of lights.

ما الصبحُ لولا طيبكم ولقاؤكم
إلاexcept نثارscattered fragments الشمسِof the sun فيin الأجواءِthe skies !

Without your kindness and meeting you, dawn
Without your fragrance and meeting, what is the dawn
would be nothing but sunlight scattered through the skies!”
But the sun's rays scattered in the sky!
