هَنيئاً غَدَوتُم في رِياضِ مَسَرّةٍ
بطلعتكم تاهَت عَلى جَنةِ الخُلدِ
How fortunate you are, dwelling in gardens of delight;
Your presence made them boast over the Garden of Eternity.
فَمَن لي بهاتيكَ الرِّياضِ وَحسنها
وَمَن لي بِذاك اللَحنِ وَالعطرِ وَالندِّ
But how can I reach those gardens and their beauty?
And how can I have that melody, fragrance, and incense?
وَمَن لي بِذاكَ الأُنسِ بَل هُوَ مُنيَتي
إِذا حزته لَم يَبقَ مِن مُنيةٍ عِندي
And how can I have that companionship? Indeed, it is my dearest wish.
If I attained it, no wish would remain for me.
إِذا ضَمّني يَوماً وَإِيَّاك مَجلِسٌ
تَشاغل في مَعناك عَن غَيرِهِ رشدي
If one day a gathering brought you and me together,
My mind would be absorbed in you, turning from all else.
