أَرتاح إِذا هَبَّ نَسيمُ السَحَرِ

أَرتاح إِذا هَبَّ نَسيمُ السَحَرِ

مِن لطفك يَستَعيرُ نشرَ الزَهَرِ

مِن لطفك يَستَعيرُ نشرَ الزَهَرِ

I delight when the predawn breeze blows;

I feel at ease when the morning breeze blows

From your grace it borrows the fragrance of flowers.

Borrowing gentleness from you to spread the blossoms

أَهواكَ وَلَم أَفز بِلُقياكَ نَعَم

أَهواكَ وَلَم أَفز بِلُقياكَ نَعَم

في حبك قَد بادَرَ سَمعي بَصَري

في حبك قَد بادَرَ سَمعي بَصَري

I love you, though I have not had the fortune to meet you—yes,

I yearn for you but haven't gained the joy of meeting you

In loving you, my hearing has indeed preceded my sight.

In love for you, my hearing and sight took the lead
