قَد أَقبَلَ النَبتُ بِاَسماطِهِ

قَد أَقبَلَ النَبتُ بِاَسماطِهِ

مِن مِمطَرٍ مِنهُ وَمِن بَرَّكان

مِن مِمطَرٍ مِنهُ وَمِن بَرَّكان

The greenery has come forth in its garments,

The greenery has come forth with its stems

Some in rain cloaks, some in woollen mantles.

From rainfall and from volcanoes

وَاِفتَرَّتِ الأَغصانُ عَن نَرجِسٍ

وَاِفتَرَّتِ الأَغصانُ عَن نَرجِسٍ

مُختَلِطِ الكافورِ بِالزَعفَران

مُختَلِطِ الكافورِ بِالزَعفَران

And the branches have smiled open, revealing narcissus,

And branches have uncovered narcissi

Its camphor mingled with saffron.

Intertwining camphor with saffron

فَاِستَلِبِ الشَمسَ إِذا ما غَدَت

فَاِستَلِبِ الشَمسَ إِذا ما غَدَت

تُطلِعُها مِنها بُروجُ الدِنان

تُطلِعُها مِنها بُروجُ الدِنان

So seize the sun when it comes forth at dawn,

So wrest the sun when it rises

The wine-jars’ zodiacal mansions raising it from within them.

The constellations make it rise from it

وَالماءُ قَد فاضَ عَلى رَوضِنا

وَالماءُ قَد فاضَ عَلى رَوضِنا

فَصارَ كَالشَرابِ عَلى المِهرَجان

فَصارَ كَالشَرابِ عَلى المِهرَجان

And the water has overflowed our garden,

And water has overflowed on our meadows

So it has become like wine at Mihrajan.

Making it like drink at festivals
