شَديدُ البُعدِ مِن شُربِ الشُمولِ

شَديدُ البُعدِ مِن شُربِ الشُمولِ

تُرُنجُ الهِندِ أَو طَلعُ النَخيلِ

تُرُنجُ الهِندِ أَو طَلعُ النَخيلِ

Far removed from the drinking of wine

Far removed from the drinking of the wine,

Is the citron of India, or the blossom of date palms.

Like Indian citron or the palm-bloom fine;

وَلَكِن كُلُّ شَيءٍ فيهِ طيبٌ

وَلَكِن كُلُّ شَيءٍ فيهِ طيبٌ

لَدَيكَ مِنَ الدَقيقِ إِلى الجَليلِ

لَدَيكَ مِنَ الدَقيقِ إِلى الجَليلِ

And yet everything that holds sweetness

But all within is pleasant to the soul,

Is yours, from the small to the great,

From subtle parts to the majestic whole,

وَمَيدانُ الفَصاحَةِ وَالقَوافي

وَمَيدانُ الفَصاحَةِ وَالقَوافي

وَمُمتَحَنُ الفَوارِسِ وَالخُيولِ

وَمُمتَحَنُ الفَوارِسِ وَالخُيولِ

And the arena of eloquence and rhymes,

A battlefield of eloquence and rhymes,

And the proving ground of horsemen and horses.

Where knights and horses face their testing times.
