وفَشَتْ ألْسُنُ نَمَّامِ السَّحَرْ

وفَشَتْ ألْسُنُ نَمَّامِ السَّحَرْ

سِرَّهُ المَكْتُومْ

سِرَّهُ المَكْتُومْ

And the tongues of dawn’s tale-bearer divulged

And the tongues of dawn’s tale-bearer divulged

his secret, kept concealed;

his hidden secret;

وَسَقَى الأدْوَاحَ جِرْيَالُ المَطَرْ

وَسَقَى الأدْوَاحَ جِرْيَالُ المَطَرْ

كَاسَهُ المَخْتَومْ

كَاسَهُ المَخْتَومْ

and the rain’s wine gave the spreading trees to drink

and the rain’s crimson wine gave the spreading trees

from its sealed cup.

its sealed cup to drink.
