اَلنَّوْرُ الأَصْفَرْ

يُبْدِي ثُغُورَهْ

The yellow light

The yellow blossoms

Shows its brilliance

reveal their smiling mouths,

أَبْهَى وَأَبْهَرْ

مِنْ كُلِّ صُورَهْ

More dazzling and radiant

more radiant and dazzling

Than any of its forms

than any image.

يُولِي النُّفُوسَا

حُلَى ابْتِهَاجْ

It gladdens souls

Bestowing upon souls

With the joy of delight

the ornaments of joy,

حَاكَى الْكُؤُوسَا

بَعْدَ الْمِزَاجْ

It mimics the cups

mimicking the wine cups

After fermentation

after they are mixed,

يَفْرِي النُّحُوسَا

فَرْيَ الدَّيَاجْ

It chases away bad luck

cleaving through misfortunes

Like an impenetrable shield

like the cleaving of the dark.

اَللَّوْنُ أَنْضَرْ

يُولِيكَ نُورَهْ

The green color

The hue is most vibrant,

Grants you its light

granting you its light,

وَالنَّشْرُ أَعْطَرْ

يَفْنِي الضَّرُورَهْ

And the blossoming is more fragrant

and the fragrance is sweetest,

It eliminates hardship

eradicating distress.

يَا مَنْ أَذَاهُ

هَمُّ الْمَدِينَهْ

O you who are troubled

O you who are troubled

By the concerns of the city

by the worries of the city,

عُجْ بِرُبَاهُ

وَاقْطِفْ فُنُونَهْ

Come to your Lord

turn your path to its hills

And pick His arts

and pluck its varied branches,

فَفِي شَذَاهُ

حَسْمُ الْعُفُونَهْ

For in His fragrance

for within its scent

Is the remedy for diseases

is the cure for all foulness.

اَللَّهُ أَكْبَرْ

مُذْكِي بُخُورَهْ

God is the Greatest

God is most great,

Kindling its incense

He who kindles its incense!

حُسْنٌ مُحَبَّرْ

لِِمْ لاَ تَزُورَهْ

A goodness perfumed

A perfected beauty—

Why do you not visit it?

why do you not visit it?

عَرِّجْ عَلَيْهِ

عِنْدَ الصَّبَاحِ

Stop by it

Turn your steps toward it

In the morning

at the break of dawn,

وَانْهَضْ إِلَيْهِ

مَعَ الصِّبَاحِ

And rise to it

and rise to meet it

With the morning

with radiant companions;

تَجِدْ لَدَيْهِ

أَصْلَ النَّجَاحِ

You will find in it

you shall find in its presence

The essence of success

the essence of success.
