يَا وَجْنَةَ الوردِ وَصُدْغ الدُّجَى

وطلعةَ البدرِ وقَدَّ القَضِيبْ

Rose garden blushing in the dusk

Moon rising, slender wand of dawn held high

مَنْ تَوَّجَ الغصنَ بشمسِ الضُّحَى

وَأنْبَتَ الريحانَ فَوْقَ اللَّهِيبْ

Who crowned these boughs with morning’s corona

And bade sweet basil bloom in flames drawn nigh
