ومُرحَبَّا بك من عيدٍ وفي جَذَلٍ

ومُرحَبَّا بك من عيدٍ وفي جَذَلٍ

أبدى بكَ البشرَ باديهُ وحاضرُهُ

والأرضُ قد لبِسَت أثوابَ سُندُسِها

والأرضُ قد لبِسَت أثوابَ سُندُسِها

والروضُ قد بَسَمت منه أزاهرُهُ

والروضُ قد بَسَمت منه أزاهرُهُ

And the earth has donned its robes of fine silk,

The earth has worn its garments of brocade

And the garden's blossoms have smiled forth.

And the meadow has smiled with its flowers

حاكَت يَدُ الغيث في ساحاته حُلَلاً

حاكَت يَدُ الغيث في ساحاته حُلَلاً

لمّا سقاها دِراكاً منه باكرُهُ

لمّا سقاها دِراكاً منه باكرُهُ

The hand of rain wove robes across its expanses,

The rain's hand embroidered gowns across its plains

When its early showers watered them in quick succession.

When it quenched them with its early downpour

فلاحَ فيها مِنَ الأنوارِ باهرها

فلاحَ فيها مِنَ الأنوارِ باهرها

وفاح فيها من النُّوَّار عاطِرُهُ

وفاح فيها من النُّوَّار عاطِرُهُ

So dazzling lights shone there,

Brilliant lights then shone forth

And fragrant blossoms gave off their scent there.

And aromatic fragrances spread

وقام فيها خَطيب الطّيرِ مرتجِلاً

وقام فيها خَطيب الطّيرِ مرتجِلاً

والزَّهر قد رصِّعت منه منابِرُهُ

والزَّهر قد رصِّعت منه منابِرُهُ

And there the birds' orator arose, improvising,

The birds' orator arose to recite extemporaneously

And his pulpits were studded with flowers.

As the flowers adorned his pulpits

مَوشِيُّ ثَوبٍ طواه الدَّهرُ آوِنَةً

مَوشِيُّ ثَوبٍ طواه الدَّهرُ آوِنَةً

فها هو اليوم للأبصار ناشرُهُ

فها هو اليوم للأبصار ناشرُهُ

Its robe is embroidered; Time had folded it away for a while,

A cloak the ages had folded away

So behold, today he unfurls it for eyes to see.

Is now spread before all eyes

فالغصن من نَشوة يَثنِي مَعاطِفه

فالغصن من نَشوة يَثنِي مَعاطِفه

والطيرُ مِن طَربٍ تشدو مَزاهرُهُ

والطيرُ مِن طَربٍ تشدو مَزاهرُهُ

So the bough, in rapture, bends its flanks,

The branch in elation sways its mantle

And the birds' lutes sing out in delight.

The birds in rapture trill their flowers

وللكِمام انشقاق عن أزاهرِها

وللكِمام انشقاق عن أزاهرِها

كما بَدَت لك من خِلٍّ ضمائرُهُ

كما بَدَت لك من خِلٍّ ضمائرُهُ

And the flower-sheaths split open to reveal their blossoms,

The bud's slits reveal its blossoms

Just as a close friend's innermost thoughts have become clear to you.

As its secrets appeared to you from the split calyx
