Claude 2

  1. باللَهِ يا ريحَ الجُنوبِ

    مُرّي بأنديةِ الحبيبِ

    By Allah, O southern wind

    Pass by the valleys of my beloved

  2. وتضمّخي مِن نَشرهنَّ

    بذلكَ العَرفِ العجيبِ

    And be perfumed from their blossoms

    With that wondrous fragrance

  3. يا دارَ مَيٍّ حمِلّي

    ريّاكِ نافحةَ الجنُوبِ

    O abode of May, carry

    Her breeze, redolent of the south

  4. فلعلَّ نامي نَشرِها

    يَهديهِ خَفّاقُ الهُبُوبِ

    Perhaps the waving of her blossoms

    Will be brought by the fluttering zephyrs

  5. انَّ النسيم اذا سَرَت

    بينَ الخميلةِ والكثيبِ

    Verily, when the breeze blows

    Between the sand-hill and the hill

  6. أهدَت لنا ما حُمّلت

    عنهنَّ مِن نشرٍ وطيبِ

    It brings us what it was laden with

    Of their blossoms and sweet scent

  7. أقفرتِ بعدَ تأهُّلٍ

    يا جنةَ الصّبِّ الكئيبِ

    You became desolate after marriage

    O garden of sad separation

  8. وحَصلتِ بالمرمى البعي

    دِ وكنتِ بالمرأى القريبِ

    And you attained the distant goal

    While you were near at hand

  9. قسماً بِمن أبدى الذّرا

    ع يُزانُ بالكفِّ الخضيبِ

    By Him who created the atoms

    Weighed with the bloody palm

  10. وأنارَ في جُنحِ الدُّجَى

    بدراً علا صدرَ القضيبِ

    And illuminated the wings of night

    With a full moon over the horizon

  11. يا جنَّة الوردِ الجنيِّ

    ومُقلةَ الخِشفِ الرَّبيبِ

    O garden of delicate roses

    And bud of the chaste fruit

  12. أنتِ التي غادرتِني

    غرضاً لأحداثِ الخُطوبِ

    You, who left me

    A target for the arrows of separation

  13. وطَعنتِني قصداً برم

    حِ قوامِكِ اللّدنِ الرّطيبِ

    And stabbed me intentionally with the spear

    Of your gentle, supple figure

  14. وقتَلتِني عمداً بصا

    رمِ جفنكِ الماضي القَضيبِ

    And killed me deliberately with the arrows

    Of your passing, piercing glance

  15. ورَشقتِني عن مُقلتي

    كِ بفاترِ السّهم المُصيبِ

    And pelted me with languorous arrows

    From your alluring eyes, piercing hearts

  16. وأغرتِ بالحَدقِ المِرا

    ضِ فجزتِ حبّاتِ القُلوبِ

    O water, is there any bloom

    Without a guard or watcher

  17. يا ميُّ هل مِن زورةٍ

    مِن غيرِ واشٍ أو رقيبِ

    I complain to you with coquetry

    The complaint of the sick to the doctor

  18. أشكو اليكِ بأنَّةٍ

    شكوى العليلِ الى الطّبيبِ

    Even if I were to be given paradise

    And you were not part of my share

  19. انِّي ولو أُعطى الجِنا

    نَ ولستِ فيها مِن نصيبي

    O water, I did not choose it

    As a home, knowing the unseen

  20. يا ميُّ ما آثرتُها

    داراً وعلامِ الغيوبِ

    For I am the one who is pleased with

    False promises from you, though lying

  21. فأنا الذي أرضى بوع

    دٍ باطلٍ منكم كَذُوبِ

    And I am the one who responds when called

    By one who calls me with your love, my respondent

  22. وأنا المجيبُ اذا دعا

    داعٍ بحُبِّكِ مَن مُجيبي
