1. أَيّامُ دَجنٍ أَرسَالها المَطَرُ

    قَد ضَحِكَت في خِيامِها الغُرَرُ

    Days of clouded gloom, whose flocks are rain;

    White blazes have smiled within their tents.

  2. وَافى زَمانُ الرَبيعِ جَنَّتَها

    مُحَجَّلاتٌ شِياتُها الزَهَرُ

    Springtime has come to their garden;

    White-stockinged, their markings are blossoms.

  3. ما مِن سُرورٍ إِلّا وَساحَتُهُ

    قَد لاحَ فيها لِوَطئِها أَثَرُ

    There is no joy but in its courtyard

    A trace of their tread has appeared.
