1. Though distant, my imagination made her near
Until she came close, so praise be to Him, not her
١. وَبَعيدَةٍ سَمَحَ الخَيالُ بِقُربِها
حَتّى دَنَت فَبِحَمدِهِ لا حَمدِها
2. She leaned towards the slender one, her figure touched
So I saw our old love in her neck again
٢. مالَت مَعَ الواشي وَماسَ قَوامُها
فَرَأَيتُ ليَّ عُهودِها في قَدِّها
