1. I used to visit those who were lost in passions
Where strings would be strummed and flutes brought near
١. لقد كنتُ زيراً للغَواني أزورُها
فتُضربُ أوتارٌ ويقرُبُ نايُ
2. But now that she's gone from me, and far removed
For strings and flutes again I yearn and ache
٢. فأصبحت زيراً ناحلاً بعد نأيها
ستطلب أوتار ويقرب ناي
