كَأَنَّ أَعطافَها سَقَتها

كَأَنَّ أَعطافَها سَقَتها

كَفُّ النُعامى كُؤُوسَ راحِ

كَفُّ النُعامى كُؤُوسَ راحِ

As though its boughs had been given

Cups of wine by the south wind’s hand;

كَأَنَّ أَغصانَها كِرامٌ

كَأَنَّ أَغصانَها كِرامٌ

تُقابِلُ الضَّيفَ بِارتِياحِ

تُقابِلُ الضَّيفَ بِارتِياحِ

As though its branches were generous hosts,

Welcoming the guest with delight.
