نزّهوني في البستان
والمُشيمش في الأغصان
They took me to the orchard
With the apricots on the branches
وإن كان لي من تداني
للأكل فالبسط داني
And if I dare to reach
To eat, then spread out my robe
ما أحسن السبتان بالمشمش
والغُصَينات به تتنشنش
How beautiful are the apricots with the apricots
And the little branches are full of them
ما لي لعقلي بيدهش
يا ناس يطلب حراني
Why is my mind so confused
Oh people, it makes me feel delirious
نخلة المشمش قد باضت
والمويزة منها انغاظت
The apricot tree has ripened
And the apricots have become abundant
قامت اتّعرّت وخاضت
في قطر آه لو أتاني
It stood up, became nude, and delved
Into drops - oh if only it would come to me
ما أحسنك يا توت التوته
يا خُتيم الحدوته
How beautiful you are, o mulberry
O seal of the whales
في البحر كم حُوت وحوته
منهم تراني في أمان
In the sea many whales and little whales
Among them you see me safe
