لَمْ يُبْدِ لِي فَجْرُ الْمُنَى خَيْطَهْ
Had I not sojourned on Lamta's heights,
Had I not settled in the abode of dignity
Had I not alighted upon the peaks of Lamta,
the dawn of wishes would not have shown me its thread.
The dawn of wishes would not have shown me its thread.
the dawn of my hopes would not have revealed to me its thread.

The bride of convivial joy appeared in splendor,
The bride of intimacy appeared in splendor
The bride of joyful intimacy appeared in radiant splendor,
like a pearl as she emerges in her mantle.
Like a pearl when it emerges from its shell.
like a pearl as it emerges from a delicate veil.

And hopes wafted, fragrant,
And hopes blew fragrantly
And hopes stirred like a fragrant breeze,
like blossoms as they breathe fragrance in the lush grove.
Like flowers when they diffuse their scent in the valleys.
like blossoms exhaling their perfume in the Ghouta.
