1. O raven of separation, your color is pale
And you are worthy of the agonies of parting
١. أَلا يا غُرابَ البَينِ لَونُكَ شاحِبُ
وَأَنتَ بِلَوعاتِ الفِراقِ جَديرُ
2. If what you say is true, so your worries
Spreading them is plentiful
٢. فَإِن كانَ حَقّاً ما تَقولُ فَأَصبَحَت
هُمومُكَ شَتّى بَثُّهُنَّ كَثيرُ
3. You have circled among enemies, your beloved among them
As you see me circling with the enemy
٣. وَدُرتَ بِأَعداءٍ حَبيبُكَ فيهُمُ
كَما قَد تَراني بِالعَدوِّ أَدورُ
