1. How many nights have I spent, my lover,
Awaiting the promise of my wish fulfilled,
١. كَم لَيلَةٍ بِتُّ يا عَذولي بِها
أَرتَقِبُ الوَعدَ مِن مُنى أَمَلي
2. Long has their darkness been, and sleepless my plight,
Yet the moon in both states has never failed.
٢. طالَ دُجاها وَضَرَّني سَهري
وَالبَدرُ في الحالَتَينِ لَم يفلِ
