1. فجرٌ جديد حالم خفاق

    لما يزل في عالم الآفاق

    A new dawn, dreaming and throbbing,

    Still in the realm of horizons,

  2. توهان في غمم الدجى قلق

    بحنينه بالحب بالأشواق

    Lost in the shrouds of night, restless

    With his longing, with love, with yearnings.

  3. ويود لو ضاق الظلام به

    فيهب مندفعاً من الأعماق

    And he wishes the darkness would grow too narrow for him,

    So he springs up, rushing from the depths,

  4. متحرراً من قيد ظلمته

    يرنو بعمق الروح بالأحداق

    Freed from the fetter of his darkness,

    He gazes through his eyes with the depth of his soul.

  5. فيحس لا شيء ينازعه

    ويحول عنه الكون إذ ينساق

    So he feels that nothing contends with him,

    And the universe turns aside from him as he is swept along.

  6. لا شيء ملتفا يعانقه

    غير السنا في ضوئه البراق

    Nothing wraps around him in an embrace

    Except the radiance in its glittering light.

  7. فيغيب في أحضانه ثملاً

    ويعب من فيض الهوى الدفاق

    So he vanishes into its arms, intoxicated,

    And drinks deeply from passion's gushing flood.

  8. بانت له الدنيا على قلق

    مشتاقة تهفو إلى مشتاق

    The world appeared to him, restless,

    Longing, she yearns toward one who longs.
