نسيم البشر حين سرى
على روضِ الهنا ازدهرَا
The breeze of humankind blew,
When it wandered over our meadow of bliss and flourished,
وأغصان النقا رقصت
وأضح دوحها خضِرا
The boughs of eglantine danced,
And its basin appeared verdant.
وَصَدَّاح الصفا غنى
بدا ما كان مستترا
The warbler of the dale sang,
Revealing what was hidden.
بدا كالشمس إبراهي
م أو كالبرق إن سفرا
Ibrahim appeared like the sun,
Or like lightning when traveling.
به الدنيا غدت تزهو
وأمسى الدهر مفتخرا
Through him the world became delightful,
And time itself grew proud,
وعطّر مسك مولده
ذرى الأرجاء وانتشرا
The scent of his birth perfumed
The horizons and spread out.
وقد سارت بشائره
تبلغ للورى الخبرَا
News of his coming travelled,
Informing all creation,
وأبدى الدهر تاريخاً
به نجم الهنا ظهرا
And time itself recorded
A date when our star rose.
