جَلَوتَ لنا قشرا من الصبح مترعاً

من الشمس يَعشَى دونها المتوسّمُ

من الشمس يَعشَى دونها المتوسّمُ

You unveiled for us a rind of dawn, brimming

You revealed to us a shell of the dawn drinking

with the sun, before which the discerning observer is dazzled.

From the sun which sets behind it the expectant one

فأعُينُنا سكرى لفرط شعاعه

فأعُينُنا سكرى لفرط شعاعه

وشارِبُها من شدة السُّكر مُفحَمُ

وشارِبُها من شدة السُّكر مُفحَمُ

So our eyes are drunk from its overwhelming radiance,

So our eyes were drunk from the excess of its rays

and its drinker is struck speechless by intense intoxication.

And its drinker from the intensity of drunkenness is darkened
