1. قَد راقَ هَذا الزَمانُ مِن كَدَرِه

    فَاِختَلَسنَ صُبحَةً عَلى خَضِرِه

    This season has indeed cleared of its murk;

    So snatch a morning nap upon its greenery.

  2. فَالجَوُّ في خَزِّهِ وَمُصمَتِهِ

    وَالرَوضُ في وَشيِهِ وَفي حِبَرِه

    For the sky wears its silk and solid-colored cloth,

    And the meadow its brocade and striped fabrics.

  3. فَأَطلِعَن أَنجُمَ الكُؤوسِ بِهِ

    قَبلَ اَفولِ النُجومِ مِن زَهَرِه

    So make the stars of the goblets rise there,

    Before the stars of its blossoms set.
