من كان يشكو الضعفَ من عينهِ

من كان يشكو الضعفَ من عينهِ

فهذه القطرةُ تشفيها

فهذه القطرةُ تشفيها

Whoever complains of weakness in his eye,

Whoever complains of weakness in his eyes

this drop will heal it.

This droplet will cure it

من صُنعِ غنَّاجة قد سُمِّيت

من صُنعِ غنَّاجة قد سُمِّيت

قطرَ الندى عاشَ مُسمِّيها

قطرَ الندى عاشَ مُسمِّيها

Made by Ghannaja, it has been named

Made by a songbird who was named

“Dewdrops”—long live the one who named it!

Dew drop, may the one who named it live long

فالعينُ كالزهرةِ لولا الندى

فالعينُ كالزهرةِ لولا الندى

ما راقكَ الحسنُ الذي فيها

ما راقكَ الحسنُ الذي فيها

For the eye is like a flower; were it not for the dew,

For the eye is like a flower, without dew

the beauty within it would not delight you.

Its beauty you see would not please you
