إذا أَبصَر المحزون أَرضَ شَذُونةٍ

وحُسن مُحيّاها أَفاقَ مِنَ الحُزن

وحُسن مُحيّاها أَفاقَ مِنَ الحُزن

When the sorrowful one beholds the land of Shadhuna

When the sad one sees a land of delight

and the beauty of her face, he recovers from sorrow.

And the beauty of its smiling face dispels his gloom

كأنّ عَلَى غيطانِها ومُتونِها

كأنّ عَلَى غيطانِها ومُتونِها

دَبابيجَ خُضراً أَحكَمَتها يَدُ المُزن

دَبابيجَ خُضراً أَحكَمَتها يَدُ المُزن

As though upon her lowlands and uplands

As though on its hills and dales

were green brocades, perfected by the hand of the rain clouds.

Green tapestries were firmly set by the hand of the adorner

مَذَانِبُ تَتَرى فِي مُرُوجٍ كأنّها

مَذَانِبُ تَتَرى فِي مُرُوجٍ كأنّها

عِذارٌ بِخَدَّي ذي جَمَالٍ وَذِي حُسنِ

عِذارٌ بِخَدَّي ذي جَمَالٍ وَذِي حُسنِ

Rivulets follow one another in meadows, as though they were

Its sides seem in meadows as if they were

sideburns on the cheeks of one endowed with beauty and loveliness.

The cheeks of one with beauty and grace
