By God, there is no garden but I have named it
By Allah, there is no meadow I did not name
'Fragrance,' as rain has flared throughout its bounds.
Blossoming, while droplets bloomed in its corners,
لاno غروwonder منّيon my part أبكيI weep وهيwhile it is ضاحكةٌlaughing
لا غرو منّي أبكي وهي ضاحكةٌ

فالروض يضحك إذ يبكي لهُ المطر
No wonder I weep while it laughs:
Do not wonder I weep while it smiles,
For the garden laughs when the rain weeps for it.
The meadow smiles when the rain weeps for it
