فَلَمّا أَصاتَت عَصافيرُهُ

فَلَمّا أَصاتَت عَصافيرُهُ

وَلاحَت تَباشيرُ أَوراقِهِ

وَلاحَت تَباشيرُ أَوراقِهِ

When its sparrows cried aloud,

Then, when its sparrows chirped,

and the harbingers of its leaves appeared,

And the first signs of its leaves appeared,

غَدا يَقتَري آبِقاً عارِياً

غَدا يَقتَري آبِقاً عارِياً

وَيَلبَسُ ناضِرَ أَوراقِهِ

وَيَلبَسُ ناضِرَ أَوراقِهِ

it went forth roaming, a naked fugitive,

It set out roaming, fleeing and bare,

and clothed itself in the freshness of its leaves.

And clothed itself in its fresh green leaves.
