حَلَفَ الرَبيعُ بِقَدِّهِ الفَتّانِ

وَتَحَرُّشِ الأَغصانِ بِالأَغصانِ

Spring swore by its enchanting splendor

And the fluttering of branch by branch

وَبَهجَةِ الزَهرِ الأَنيقِ إِذا سَرَت

أَنفاسُهُ مِسكِيَّةُ الأَردانِ

And by the joy of elegant flowers when

Their breath spreads musky scents

وَبِصُفرَةِ المَنثورِ مِنهُ وَحُمرَةِ ال

وَردِ الجَنِيِّ وَخُضرَةِ الرَيحانِ

And by the yellow flowers scattered about

And the red rose and green basil

وَتَرَنُّم الأَطيارِ نَحسِبُ أَنَّها

أَصواتُ شادٍ مُطرِبُ الأَلحانِ

And the birds singing, we'd think

They are the voices of singers of melodies

وَتَرَقرُقِ الماءِ القَراح عَلى حَصى

كَالدُرِّ وَالياقوتِ وَالمَرجانِ

And the gurgling of water over pebbles

Like pearls, rubies and coral

لَأُمَتِّعَنَّ أَخا الخَلاعَةِ وَالصَبا

مِنّي بِأَطيَبِ عيشةٍ وَزَمانِ

I will entertain the mate of playfulness and youth

With the most delightful life and time

أَنا بَهجَةُ الأَيّامِ يَعرِفُ قيمَتي

جَذلانُ حازَ خَلائِق الشَبانِ

I am the joy of days, my value is known

To the chivalrous who won the virtues of youth

أَخَذَت عَلَيهِ يَدُ الخَلاعَةِ موثِقاً

أَن لا يَزالُ مُشَمِّرَ الأَردانِ

The hand of playfulness took from him a pact

That he will never cease to be high-spirited

اللَهُ أَكبَرُ ما أَلَذّ لِشارِبٍ

زَمَنَ الرَبيعِ وَصُحبَةَ الإخوانِ

God is Greatest! How delicious for the drinker

Is the springtime and company of friends
