تَطَفَّلتُ مُذ كنتَ لِلحُسنِ جَنّةً

تَطَفَّلتُ مُذ كنتَ لِلحُسنِ جَنّةً

عَلَيكَ بِإِهدائي إِلَيكَ حريرا

عَلَيكَ بِإِهدائي إِلَيكَ حريرا

Since you have been a paradise of beauty, I have presumed

I have been longing for you since you were a garden of beauty

Upon you by presenting you with silk.

To bestow upon you my gift of silk

وَإِنّيَ لَو أُهديك يا بَحرُ كُلَّ ما

وَإِنّيَ لَو أُهديك يا بَحرُ كُلَّ ما

أَراهُ عَلى الدّنيا لَكانَ حَقيرا

أَراهُ عَلى الدّنيا لَكانَ حَقيرا

And indeed, were I to give you, O sea, all that

And truly if I were to gift you, O sea, everything

I see in this world, it would be paltry.

I see in this world, it would be paltry
