1. هَنيئاً غَدَوتُم في رِياضِ مَسَرّةٍ

    بطلعتكم تاهَت عَلى جَنةِ الخُلدِ

    How fortunate you are, dwelling in gardens of delight;

    Your presence made them boast over the Garden of Eternity.

  2. فَمَن لي بهاتيكَ الرِّياضِ وَحسنها

    وَمَن لي بِذاك اللَحنِ وَالعطرِ وَالندِّ

    But how can I reach those gardens and their beauty?

    And how can I have that melody, fragrance, and incense?

  3. وَمَن لي بِذاكَ الأُنسِ بَل هُوَ مُنيَتي

    إِذا حزته لَم يَبقَ مِن مُنيةٍ عِندي

    And how can I have that companionship? Indeed, it is my dearest wish.

    If I attained it, no wish would remain for me.

  4. إِذا ضَمّني يَوماً وَإِيَّاك مَجلِسٌ

    تَشاغل في مَعناك عَن غَيرِهِ رشدي

    If one day a gathering brought you and me together,

    My mind would be absorbed in you, turning from all else.
