سَرِّحْ جِيَادَ الَّلحْظِ فيِ ذِي الْبِطَاحْ

قَدْ عَرْبَدَ النُّوَّارُ فِيهَا فَفاحْ

Let loose the steeds of the moment in the valley,

Let loose the steeds of your gaze across these wide plains,

The bright stars have flickered over it and diffused their scent.

The blossoms have grown wild within them and exhaled their fragrance,

وانْظُرْ إِلىَ الْبُسْتَانِ فِي حُلَّةٍ

قَدْ ذَهَّبَتْهَا شمْسُ هَذا الصبَاحْ

And look upon the garden in its raiment,

And gaze upon the garden in a splendid garment

Divested of it by the sun of this morn.

That the sun of this morning has gilded.

وَأَيْنَعَتْ بِالنَّوْرِ أَفْنَانُهُ

فَغَرَّدَ الْقُمْرِي عَلَيْها وَصاحْ

Its branches flourished with the light,

Its branches have flourished with radiant blooms,

And the nightingale trilled over it and cried out.

And upon them the turtledove has warbled and called out.

قَدْ أَقْبَلَ الأُنْسُ وَفَرًّ الأَسَى

وَأَدْبَرَ النَّحْسُ وَجَاءَ النَّجَاحْ

Comfort has come and sorrow has fled,

Delight has approached and sorrow has fled,

Misfortune has departed and success arrived.

Misfortune has retreated and success has arrived.

فَاشْرَبْ طِلَى الأَفْراحِ في ظِلِّهِ

فَلَيْسَ في كَاسَاتِهَا مِنْ جُناحْ

So drink the potion of joys in its shade,

So drink the wine of joys within its shade,

For there is no sin in its cups.

For there is no sin within its cups.
