كُن يا نَديمي طيبَ النَفسِ

فَيَومُنا أَحسَنُ مِن أَمسِ

My soul's companion, do be calm of heart

For this day is better than days foregone

وَاِنعَم بِصَفراءَ نَهارِيَّةٍ

عَلى بَهارٍ ناعِمِ اللَمسِ

And savor a sunny forenoon

Over a gentle springtime’s dawn

كَأَنَّما صُفرُ دَنانيرِهِ

مَطبوعَةٌ مِن ذَهَبِ الشَمسِ

As though its golden hue

Were minted from the sun's own gold
