تَوَشَّحَتِ السَّمَاءُ بِبُرْدِ غَيْمٍ

فَأجْمِلْ بالمُوشَّحِ والوِشَاحِ

The sky is clad in the chill of clouds,

So adorn yourself with embroidered robes and wrap.

أمطْ فُدمَ البَرَانِي واجلُ مِنها

بِآفَاقِ الكُؤُوسِ شُمُوسَ رَاحِ

Unfurl the standards of victory and depart from it,

With the horizons of cups, suns of comfort.

يُولِّدُ فوقَها حَبَبٌ إذَا مَا

تَغَشَّاهَا فَتَى المَاءِ القُرَاحِ

It gives birth over it to a beloved when

The bold of water covers it, the rocky pool.

بِكَفٍّ مُخَضَّبِ الكَفَّينِ رَخْصٍ

فَسَادي في مَحبَّتِهِ صَلاَحِي

With a hand dyed both hands with cheapness,

My cheek in his love is my well-being.
