1. أصح قلبا فوجدك اليوم حمق

    إن وجه الطبيعة اليوم طلق

    Be sober at heart, for your anguish today is folly.

    Indeed, nature’s face is smiling today.

  2. زانت الجونة السماء فزالت

    ظلمات بها ورعد وبرق

    The sun adorned the sky, and away went

    The darkness within it, and thunder and lightning.

  3. وبدا النور من وراء الغيابات

    فما في خلالها اليوم ودق

    And light appeared from behind the dark clouds;

    So there is no rain amid them today.

  4. وبدا البحر ساكنا غير موجات

    علتها طير أبابيل بهق

    And the sea appeared still, save for waves

    Over which rose flocks of white birds.

  5. وأرى الثلج ذاب إلا بقيا

    ت بها الدور توجت فهي بلق

    And I see the snow has melted, save for remnants

    With which the houses were crowned, leaving them piebald,

  6. خالعات على الربى حللا بيـ

    ـضا بدت تحتها غلائل زرق

    Draping the hills in white robes,

    Beneath which blue under-robes appeared.

  7. وإذا الأرض كالسماء رواء

    ليس بين السماء والأرض فرق

    And behold, the earth is as fair as the sky;

    There is no difference between sky and earth.

  8. فكأن الثلوج في الأرض غيم

    وكأن الرياض في الأرض أفق

    So the snows on earth seem clouds,

    And the meadows on earth seem a horizon.

  9. هكذا كان أول الصحو رسم اللـ

    ـه، في لونه جمال وعمق

    Such was the onset of clear weather: God’s painting,

    With beauty and depth in its coloring.

  10. هام طرفي به وأسلم قلبي

    مذعنا أن قدرة الله حق

    My gaze was enraptured by it, and my heart surrendered,

    Acknowledging that God’s power is true.
