يا مَن تَحلّى بِريَحان يُنادِمُهُ

يا مَن تَحلّى بِريَحان يُنادِمُهُ

مِن عِطرِ وَردٍ وَخَيريٍّ وَنَسرينِ

مِن عِطرِ وَردٍ وَخَيريٍّ وَنَسرينِ

O you who have adorned yourself with fragrant herbs that keep you company,

O you who is adorned with sweet basil as his companion

With the fragrance of roses, wallflowers, and wild roses,

With the fragrance of roses, blessings, and jasmine

وَياسِمينٍ وَعُودٍ ما يُغيّرُهُ

وَياسِمينٍ وَعُودٍ ما يُغيّرُهُ

ما كانَ أَحسنَ ذا لَو لَم يَكُن دوني

ما كانَ أَحسنَ ذا لَو لَم يَكُن دوني

And jasmine and aloeswood that you leave unchanged—

And jasmine and aloes wood that does not change it

How lovely this would have been, had I not been left out!

How beautiful it would be if it were not inferior to me
