جاء الربيعُ وبحرك الفيّاضُ

جاء الربيعُ وبحرك الفيّاضُ

فَغَدَت فقارُ الأرضِ وهي رياضُ

فَغَدَت فقارُ الأرضِ وهي رياضُ

Spring has come, and so has your overflowing sea.

Spring has arrived and the abundant rain poured down,

So the earth's wastelands have become gardens.

So the barren earth became meadows and fields.

والروضُ أصبحَ بعد صفرةِ لونهِ

والروضُ أصبحَ بعد صفرةِ لونهِ

وبوجنتيه حمرةٌن وبياضُ

وبوجنتيه حمرةٌن وبياضُ

And the garden, once yellow in hue, now stands

The garden, after its pale complexion,

With redness and whiteness upon its cheeks.

Now has redness and whiteness in its cheeks.

وكأنَّ نوارَ الحدائقِ في الضُّحى

وكأنَّ نوارَ الحدائقِ في الضُّحى

حَدَقٌ لدى عُشّاقهنَّ مراض

حَدَقٌ لدى عُشّاقهنَّ مراض

And the gardens' blossoms in the forenoon seem

As if the blossoms’ radiance in the morning

Like ailing eyes among their lovers.

Are eyes gazing at their lovers, sick with yearning.

فانظر ترى الدنيا عروسَ منصَّةٍ

فانظر ترى الدنيا عروسَ منصَّةٍ

يصيبك بُردُ شبابها الفضفاضُ

يصيبك بُردُ شبابها الفضفاضُ

Look, then: you will see the world as a bride upon a dais.

Look and see, the world is a bride arrayed,

The ample mantle of her youth touches you.

The briskness of her youth makes you shiver.

والمزعجاتُ جفونهنّ غضيضةٌ

والمزعجاتُ جفونهنّ غضيضةٌ

والمبهجاتُ غصونهنّ غضاض

والمبهجاتُ غصونهنّ غضاض

And the disquieting ones have downcast eyelids,

Vexing ones, their eyelids tightly shut,

And the gladdening ones have tender branches.

Delighting ones, their branches softly swaying.

بنداك يصبغ ثوب شرَّته الغنى

بنداك يصبغ ثوب شرَّته الغنى

أبداً ويصبغ صبغه الايقاض

أبداً ويصبغ صبغه الايقاض

Through your bounty, wealth dyes the robe of its exuberance,

Your song forever dyes the robe of opulence

Forever; and awakening dyes its hue.

And dyes it with the dye of wakefulness.
