زهرةٌ تَحْمِلُ فوقَ النِّيلِ زَهْرَةْ
وشَذًى يَلْثِمُ وِجْدانيَ عِطْرَه
A flower carries a flower above the Nile,
A flower floating above the Nile, a flower
And a fragrance—its perfume kisses my soul.
With a fragrance that kisses my soul
زَهْرُهُ مِن أينَ للزَّهرِ عُيونٌ
يرتدي الزَّهرُ فساتينًا وخُضْرَةْ
Its blossoms—where do flowers get eyes?
Where are the eyes for this flower?
The flowers wear dresses and greenery.
The flower wears gowns and greenness
زَهرةٌ فُلِّيَّةُ اللَّونِ تُناجي
، ؟
بِحَديثٍ هامسٍ، تُذْرَفُ عَبْرَةْ؟
A jasmine-white flower whispers
A pink flower whispers
With hushed words—is a tear shed?
With a soft voice, shedding a tear
،
زَهرةٌ كالزَّهرِ، إلّا أنّها
سُقِيَتْ مِن جَنَّةِ الفِردَوْسِ خَمْرةْ
A flower like other flowers, except that she
A flower like a flower, except
Was watered with wine from the Garden of Paradise.
She was watered from the garden of Paradise with wine
أيّها الزّهرةُ ناجي عاشقًا
يَحتسي مِن كأسِ حِرمانِكِ قَهْرَه
O flower, whisper to a lover
O flower, confide in a lover
Who sips his anguish from the cup of being denied you,
Who sips from the cup of your deprivation, its bitterness
يكتسي الشَّوقَ ويَقتاتُ المُنى
يشتهي مِن وَقتِكِ الغالي سَهْرةْ
Clothes himself in longing and feeds on wishes,
Dressed in longing and fed wishes
Longs for an evening of your precious time.
Desiring from your precious time a night vigil
هل أُناجي فيكِ يا زَهرةُ قَلبًا
، ؟
عاشقًا، يَرحمُ في العاشقِ نَظْرَه؟
Do I whisper to a heart within you, O flower,
Shall I confide in you, o flower, a heart
A loving one that takes pity on the lover's gaze?
A lover, who pities the look of the lover?
؟
أنتِ مِن أيِّ بَساتينِ الهَوى؟
: ()
فأجابت: أنا مِن سُكَّانِ (غَمرة)
Which gardens of love are you from?
From which gardens of passion are you?
So she answered, 'I am one of Ghamra's residents.'
She answered: I am from the residents of Gamra
:
قلت: يا غمرةُ قلبي كَلِفٌ
فاغْمِريني واصْنَعي في القَلبِ عِشْرَةْ
I said, 'O Ghamra, my heart is smitten;
I said: O Gamra of my heart, it is tired
So engulf me and create intimacy in my heart.'
So immerse me and make affection in the heart
« »،
«وانتَ عاوز إيه وسَّعْ»، ومَضَتْ
مثلَ نَجمٍ في بُنَيَّاتِ المَجَرّةْ
'And what do you want? Move aside!' And she went on,
"What do you want? Go away," she went
Like a star among the galaxy's little daughters.
Like a star in the galaxies
،
غُصُنٌ ماسَ، وفي بَسْمَتِها
،
قُبُلاتٌ، ما لَها في الحُسْنِ ضُرَّةْ
A bough swayed, and in her smile
A blooming branch, and in her smile
Are kisses with no rival in beauty.
Kisses that have no fault in beauty
وَرَمَتْ مِن طَرْفِها سَهْمَ الهوى
ومَضَتْ في عُنْفُوانٍ مُستَمِرَّةْ
And from her gaze she shot the arrow of love,
And she shot from her eyelids the arrow of love
And she continued onward in full vigor.
And went on in continuous youthfulness
،
تلكَ، والفِتْنَةُ في أَعْيُنِها
فَجَّرا في هاجِس الوِجدانِ شِعْرَه
That woman, and the allure in her eyes,
That one, and the temptation in her eyes
Made the soul's poetry burst forth in its inner stirrings.
Unleashed in the obsessive soul, its poetry
