1. My heart is gloomy with youth gone by
And my tears flow copiously in melancholy
١. فُؤادي كَئيبٌ بالصّبابةِ مُدنَفُ
وَدَمعي صَبيبٌ لِلكَآبَةِ يَذرِفُ
2. I wipe blood from between my eyelids asking
Does any human see the weeping of my eyes
٢. أَسُحّ دَماً مِن بَينِ جَفنَيَّ سائِلاً
بِخَدّي فَهَل إِنسانُ عَينَيَّ يَرعُفُ
