-
O spring ! you are back again
-
With your ravishing beauty, stirring
-
Fading memories, waking up
-
Slumbering souls, unveiling
-
The essence of life, teaching belles
-
Seductive arts, helping men cease
-
Grieving over grievances foregone,
-
Breathing life into those who are dead,
-
And restoring damp souls to normal shape.
-
A new force in the music of flutes and fountains
-
Amazes those roused from slumber.
-
Buds burst open, displaying their charms,
-
And the bulbuls' hearts burst with ecstasy.
-
Streams and waterfalls are blest
-
With new instruments, which they now tune
-
To play the music of love.
-
You have come with a toast to the health
-
Of the love-sick, dust-laden yemberzal.
-
It's your day, O spring ! The flowers pay
-
Homage to you. Your comand will be obeyed.
-
Seeing you, the dumb have regained their speech,
-
And both buds and hearts have bloomed.
-
You came, a bridegroom with charming grace and
gait,
-
And torches of love blazed bright all the way.
-
Though above all colour, you bring so many,
-
And gift them to different flower beds.
-
Caves, mosques and temples receive your light,
-
And subs and sadhus your ecstasy.
-
Your arrival made Mahjoor's garden bloom
-
With your special gift of perennial flowers !
