1. Her love came to me before I knew of love,
So it found an empty heart and settled there.
١. أتاني هواها قبل أن عرف الهوى
فصادف قلباً خالياً فتمكنا
2. And it left me with sorrows, but they became
Like my sleep - if we part, yearning keeps me awake.
٢. وأورثني الأشجان لكنها غدت
كنومي إن فارقته مسنى الضنى
