1. This night has lingered long after their leave
Though brief my time with them before they went
١. لقد طالَ هذا الليلُ بعد فراقِه
وعَهدى به قبل الفراقِ قصيرُ
2. How can I hope for dawn after their loss
When from their midst have set such radiant suns
٢. وكيف أرجِّ الصُّبحَ بعدهُمُ وقد
تولَّت شموسٌ منهمُ وَبُدورُ
