Song of Solomon 2

أَنَا نَرْجِسُ شَارُونَ، سَوْسَنَةُ الأَوْدِيَةِ.

I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.

كَالسَّوْسَنَةِ بَيْنَ الشَّوْكِ كَذلِكَ حَبِيبَتِي بَيْنَ الْبَنَاتِ.

As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.

كَالتُّفَّاحِ بَيْنَ شَجَرِ الْوَعْرِ كَذلِكَ حَبِيبِي بَيْنَ الْبَنِينَ. تَحْتَ ظِلِّهِ اشْتَهَيْتُ أَنْ أَجْلِسَ، وَثَمَرَتُهُ حُلْوَةٌ لِحَلْقِي.

As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.

أَدْخَلَنِي إِلَى بَيْتِ الْخَمْرِ، وَعَلَمُهُ فَوْقِي مَحَبَّةٌ.

He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love.

أَسْنِدُونِي بِأَقْرَاصِ الزَّبِيبِ. أَنْعِشُونِي بِالتُّفَّاحِ، فَإِنِّي مَرِيضَةٌ حُبًّا.

Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick of love.

شِمَالُهُ تَحْتَ رَأْسِي وَيَمِينُهُ تُعَانِقُنِي.

His left hand is under my head, and his right hand doth embrace me.

أُحَلِّفُكُنَّ يَا بَنَاتِ أُورُشَلِيمَ بِالظِّبَاءِ وَبِأَيَائِلِ الْحُقُولِ، أَلاَّ تُيَقِّظْنَ وَلاَ تُنَبِّهْنَ الْحَبِيبَ حَتَّى يَشَاءَ.

I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please.

صَوْتُ حَبِيبِي. هُوَذَا آتٍ طَافِرًا عَلَى الْجِبَالِ، قَافِزًا عَلَى التِّلاَلِ.

The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills.

حَبِيبِي هُوَ شَبِيهٌ بِالظَّبْيِ أَوْ بِغُفْرِ الأَيَائِلِ. هُوَذَا وَاقِفٌ وَرَاءَ حَائِطِنَا، يَتَطَلَّعُ مِنَ الْكُوَى، يُوَصْوِصُ مِنَ الشَّبَابِيكِ.

My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: behold, he standeth behind our wall, he looketh forth at the windows, shewing himself through the lattice.

أَجَابَ حَبِيبِي وَقَالَ لِي: «قُومِي يَا حَبِيبَتِي، يَا جَمِيلَتِي وَتَعَالَيْ.

My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.

لأَنَّ الشِّتَاءَ قَدْ مَضَى، وَالْمَطَرَ مَرَّ وَزَالَ.

For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;

الزُّهُورُ ظَهَرَتْ فِي الأَرْضِ. بَلَغَ أَوَانُ الْقَضْبِ ، وَصَوْتُ الْيَمَامَةِ سُمِعَ فِي أَرْضِنَا.

The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;

التِّينَةُ أَخْرَجَتْ فِجَّهَا، وَقُعَالُ الْكُرُومِ تُفِيحُ رَائِحَتَهَا. قُومِي يَا حَبِيبَتِي، يَا جَمِيلَتِي وَتَعَالَيْ.

The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.

يَا حَمَامَتِي فِي مَحَاجِئِ الصَّخْرِ، فِي سِتْرِ الْمَعَاقِلِ، أَرِينِي وَجْهَكِ، أَسْمِعِينِي صَوْتَكِ، لأَنَّ صَوْتَكِ لَطِيفٌ وَوَجْهَكِ جَمِيلٌ.

O my dove, that art in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the stairs, let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; for sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely.

خُذُوا لَنَا الثَّعَالِبَ، الثَّعَالِبَ الصِّغَارَ الْمُفْسِدَةَ الْكُرُومِ، لأَنَّ كُرُومَنَا قَدْ أَقْعَلَتْ.

Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes.

حَبِيبِي لِي وَأَنَا لَهُ. الرَّاعِي بَيْنَ السَّوْسَنِ.

My beloved is mine, and I am his: he feedeth among the lilies.

إِلَى أَنْ يَفِيحَ النَّهَارُ وَتَنْهَزِمَ الظِّلاَلُ، ارْجعْ وَأَشْبِهْ يَا حَبِيبِي الظَّبْيَ أَوْ غُفْرَ الأَيَائِلِ عَلَى الْجِبَالِ الْمُشَعَّبَةِ.

Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be thou like a roe or a young hart upon the mountains of Bether.
