راقَ الوِصالُ مِنَ الجَفاءِ

راقَ الوِصالُ مِنَ الجَفاءِ

وَخَلا الدُنُوُّ مِنَ التَناءِ

وَخَلا الدُنُوُّ مِنَ التَناءِ

Union grew clear of estrangement,

and closeness was free of distance.

وَمَضى المَصيفُ مِنَ الخِيا

وَمَضى المَصيفُ مِنَ الخِيا

نَةِ بِالرَبيعِ مِنَ الوَفاءِ

نَةِ بِالرَبيعِ مِنَ الوَفاءِ

And away went the summer of treach-

ery, replaced by the spring of fidelity.

فَاليَومَ طابَ لَنا الهَوى

فَاليَومَ طابَ لَنا الهَوى

لَمّا غَدا مِثلَ الهَواءِ

لَمّا غَدا مِثلَ الهَواءِ

So today love has grown sweet to us,

now that it has become like the air.
