والطل كَسا عَرَائِسَ البُسْتانِ

والطل كَسا عَرَائِسَ البُسْتانِ

حَلْيَ النَّسَقِ

حَلْيَ النَّسَقِ

And the dew arrayed the garden’s brides

And the dew clothed the garden's brides

in ornaments strung in ordered strands;

with neatly strung jewels;

وَالرّيحُ ثَنَى قَوَامَ عطفِ البَانِ

وَالرّيحُ ثَنَى قَوَامَ عطفِ البَانِ

للمُعْتَنِقِ

للمُعْتَنِقِ

and the wind bent the graceful bough of the bān tree

and the wind bent the upright form of the bān's bough

toward the one who would embrace it.

for the one who would embrace it.
