1. ألا أنعم بنارنجك المجتنى

    فقد حضر السعدُ لمّا حَضَر

    Ah, delight in your gathered bitter oranges;

    For good fortune arrived when they arrived.

  2. يا مرحباً بخدودِ الغصونِ

    ويا مرحباً بنجومِ الشجر

    O welcome to the cheeks of the boughs!

    And O welcome to the stars of the trees!

  3. كأنَّ السماءَ هَمت بالنُضارِ

    فصاغَت لنا الأرضُ منه أُكَر

    As though the sky had rained pure gold,

    So the earth fashioned orbs from it for us.
