بَدا أَشقرُ العارضينِ ضُحى

بَدا أَشقرُ العارضينِ ضُحى

بِوَجهِ الّذي لم يدَعْ بي رمَقْ

بِوَجهِ الّذي لم يدَعْ بي رمَقْ

Blond cheek-hair appeared in the morning,

The fair of cheek appeared at dawn

on the face of him who left no breath of life in me.

With a face that left me no respite

فَيا لَهفَ قَلبي لِشَمسِ الجَمالِ

فَيا لَهفَ قَلبي لِشَمسِ الجَمالِ

وَصُبحِ الجَبينِ المُنيرِ الغسَقْ

وَصُبحِ الجَبينِ المُنيرِ الغسَقْ

And oh, my heart’s anguish for the sun of beauty,

So my heart burns for the sun of beauty

and the dawn of the brow that illuminates the dusk!

And the bright morning of the glowing dusk

أآنَ لشمسِ الجبالِ الغروبُ

أآنَ لشمسِ الجبالِ الغروبُ

إِذ زالتِ الشّمسُ تَحتَ الشّفَق

إِذ زالتِ الشّمسُ تَحتَ الشّفَق

Has the time come for the sun of the mountains to set,

Is it time for the sun of the mountains to set

since the sun has vanished beneath the twilight?

Now that the sun has gone down beneath the horizon
