غاب الحبيبُ وفؤادِي خافِقٌ
مُنْتظِرٌawaiting لذلكfor that المَعْنَىthe essence البَهِجْdelightful
مُنْتظِرٌ لذلك المَعْنَى البَهِجْ
The beloved is absent, and my heart is throbbing,
The beloved is gone, and my heart flutters
Awaiting that delightful essence.
Awaiting that joyous meaning
والنَّرْجِسُand the narcissus الغَضُّtender يُنادِيcalls out فيin الرُّبَىthe hills
والنَّرْجِسُ الغَضُّ يُنادِي في الرُّبَى
أبْشِرْrejoice بماin what سَرَّbrought joy بعيْنيwith my eye تخْتلِجْtwitches
أبْشِرْ بما سَرَّ بعيْني تخْتلِجْ
And the tender narcissus calls out among the hills:
And the tender narcissus calls in the meadows
“Rejoice in what brings joy—my eye is twitching!”
Rejoice in what has delighted my restless eyes
