الجوُّ بين مُضمَّخٍ ومُضرَّجِ

والروضُ بين مزخرفٍ ومبدَّج

The air is drenched and stained,

The garden amidst ornament and decoration.

والثلجُ يهطلُ كالنثار فقم بنا

نلتذُّ بإبنة كرمةٍ لم تمزج

The snow falls like scattered pearls, so let us

Delight in an unblemished daughter of generosity.

ضحك النهارُ وبانَ حسنُ شقائقٍ

وزهتْ غصونُ الوردِ بين بنفسج

The day laughed and the beauty of anemones appeared,

The rose branches blossomed among violets.

فكأنَّ يومَكَ من غلائلِ فضّةٍ

والنورُ من ذهبٍ على فَيْروزج

It is as though your day were made of strands of silver,

And the light were of gold upon turquoise.
