وَإِنَّ اِخضِرارَ الغُصنِ بَعدَ اِستِلانَةٍ

وَإِنَّ اِخضِرارَ الغُصنِ بَعدَ اِستِلانَةٍ

وَإِنَّ تَمامَ البَدرِ عِندَ مَحاقِهِ

وَإِنَّ تَمامَ البَدرِ عِندَ مَحاقِهِ

And indeed the bough’s greening comes after softening,

Though the branch, when bent, turns green again

And indeed the full moon’s fullness comes at its waning.

And the full moon regains its shape anew

حَمى اللَهُ مِن حُمّاهُ وَردَةَ خَدِّهِ

حَمى اللَهُ مِن حُمّاهُ وَردَةَ خَدِّهِ

فَلا مُلِّيَت مِنهُ بِطيبِ عِناقِهِ

فَلا مُلِّيَت مِنهُ بِطيبِ عِناقِهِ

May God protect the rose of his cheek from his fever,

God has kept the rosy cheeks of youth safe

So may that fever not long enjoy his sweet embrace.

From the sweetness of embraces passing through

وَمِمّا أَطابَ النَفسَ أَنَّ سَقامَهُ

وَمِمّا أَطابَ النَفسَ أَنَّ سَقامَهُ

سَيَعقُبُهُ وَصلُ الشِفا بِفِراقِهِ

سَيَعقُبُهُ وَصلُ الشِفا بِفِراقِهِ

And among what gladdened the soul is that his sickness

And the heart is glad because every illness

Will be followed by union with healing through separation from it.

Will be followed by recovery and health when you are gone
