الجَوُّ يَلمَعُ بَرقَهُ

الجَوُّ يَلمَعُ بَرقَهُ

في غَيمِهِ وَالقَطرُ يَجري

في غَيمِهِ وَالقَطرُ يَجري

The sky’s lightning flashes

The sky flickers its lightning

Within its clouds, and the rain streams

In its clouds, and the raindrops flow

كَسَلاسِلٍ مِن فَضَّةٍ

كَسَلاسِلٍ مِن فَضَّةٍ

قَد دُلِّيَت مِن سَقفِ تِبرِ

قَد دُلِّيَت مِن سَقفِ تِبرِ

Like chains of silver

Like chains of silver

Lowered from a ceiling of gold.

Poured from a roof of amber.

فَاِشرَب بِنا ذَهَباً عَلى

فَاِشرَب بِنا ذَهَباً عَلى

ذَهَبَينِ مِن بَرقٍ وَزَهرٍ

ذَهَبَينِ مِن بَرقٍ وَزَهرٍ

So drink gold with us amid

So drink with us gold upon

The two golds of lightning and blossoms;

Two golds of lightning and flowers.

فَالآسُ مِن تحتِ النَدى

فَالآسُ مِن تحتِ النَدى

كَزَبَرجَدٍ مِن تَحتِ دُرِّ

كَزَبَرجَدٍ مِن تَحتِ دُرِّ

For the myrtle beneath the dew

For sorrow beneath the dew

Is like peridot beneath pearls.

Is like an emerald beneath a pearl.
