1. ردت الروح على المضنى معك

    أحسن الأيام يوم أرجعك

    With you, the spirit was restored to the languishing one.

    The finest of days is the day that brought you back.

  2. بجمال حزته بين الورى

    أخبر الولهان واذكر مربعك

    By the beauty you possess among humankind,

    Tell the lovelorn one, and mention your dwelling.

  3. وإذا ما جدت بالذكر لنا

    لا تخف شراً وأرهف مسمعك

    And if you favor us with a mention,

    Fear no harm, and lend a keen ear.

  4. أيها الساحر بالحسن لنا

    وعد الدهر لنا أن يخضعك

    O you who bewitch us with beauty,

    Time has promised us that it will subdue you.

  5. آية الحسن شباب شارد

    حلف الشيب له أن يتبعك

    Beauty's emblem is fugitive youth;

    Gray hair has sworn to it that it will follow you.

  6. فالزمان الغض رهن للصبا

    والصبا سعد فقل إني معك

    For time in its freshness is pledged to youth,

    And youth is good fortune; so say, 'Indeed, I am with you.'

  7. واغنم الفرصة أيام الهنا

    وإذا ضيعت حظاً ضيعك

    And seize the chance in days of bliss;

    And if you squander a chance, it will squander you.
