دُعيتَ فَأَصْغِ لِداعي الطَّرَبْ

وطاب لَكَ الدهرُ فاشْرَبْ وَطِبْ

You are called, so listen to the caller of joy

And life is sweet for you, so drink and relish

وهذا بَشيرُ الربيع الجديد

يُبَشِّرُنَا أَنَّهُ قَدْ قَرُبْ

This is the herald of the new spring

Bringing us tidings that it has drawn near

بَهَارٌ يَروقُ بِمِسْكٍ ذَكِيٍّ

وصُنعٍ بَديعٍ وخَلْقٍ عَجَبْ

A spring that delights with fine musk

And wondrous making and marvelous nature

غصونُ الزَّبَرْجَدِ قَدْ أَوْرَقَتْ

لَنَا فِضَّةً نَوَّرَتْ بالذَّهَبْ

The branches of the barberry have leafed

Giving us silver that shines with gold

إذا جُمِعَتْ فِي جِبالِ الحَرِيرِ

وقَامَتْ أَمامك مِثلَ اللُّعَبْ

When gathered on hills of silk

And standing before you like playthings

فَمِنْ حَقِّها أَنْ تَرى الشَّارِبينَ

وَقَدْ نَفَّقَتْ سُوقُهُمْ بالنُّخَّبْ

It is their due to see the drinkers

As their market overflows with finesse

وأَنْ تَسْألوا اللهَ طُولَ البَقَاءِ

لِعَبْدِ المَلِيكِ مَليكِ العَرَبْ

That you may ask God for lasting days

For the slave of the King, the King of Arabs

فلولا مَحاسِنُهُ لَمْ تَرُقْ

ولولا شمائِلُهُ لَمْ تَطِبْ

For were it not for his beauties, life would not be sweet

And were it not for his qualities, life would not relish
