النَبتُ بَينَ مَفَضَّضٍ وَمُذَهَّبِ

النَبتُ بَينَ مَفَضَّضٍ وَمُذَهَّبِ

وَالغَيمُ بَينَ مُشَمِّرٍ وَمُطَنَّبِ

وَالغَيمُ بَينَ مُشَمِّرٍ وَمُطَنَّبِ

The plants—some silvered, some gilded;

The blossoms amidst the parted and gilded leaves,

And the clouds—some gathered up, some spread wide;

The clouds amidst the wrapped and peaked ones,

وَالماءُ بَينَ مَخَوَّدٍ وَمَجوشَنٍ

وَالماءُ بَينَ مَخَوَّدٍ وَمَجوشَنٍ

وَالقُضبُ بَينَ مُكَوَّرٍ وَمُعَصَّبِ

وَالقُضبُ بَينَ مُكَوَّرٍ وَمُعَصَّبِ

And the water—some helmeted, some clad in armor;

The water amidst the scooped out and tumbling ones,

And the boughs—some turbaned, some bound with headbands.

The twigs amidst the bent and twisted ones,

وَكأَنَّ ريحَ الراحِ في إِبريقِها

وَكأَنَّ ريحَ الراحِ في إِبريقِها

نَدٌّ تَضَوَّعَ مِن جَوانِبِ مِشجَبِ

نَدٌّ تَضَوَّعَ مِن جَوانِبِ مِشجَبِ

And it is as though the scent of wine within its ewer

And as if the breeze of comfort in its jug,

Were incense wafting from the sides of a clothes stand.

A light that got illuminated from the sides of an arbor,

فَاِجلُ الظَلامَ مِنَ الأَسى بِسِراجِها

فَاِجلُ الظَلامَ مِنَ الأَسى بِسِراجِها

فَالأَرضِ قَد وَقَدَت سِراجَ القُطرُبِ

فَالأَرضِ قَد وَقَدَت سِراجَ القُطرُبِ

So dispel sorrow's darkness with its lamp,

So take away the darkness of sorrow with its lantern,

For the earth has kindled the ghoul's lamp.

For the land has ignited the lantern of al-qutrub.
