1. The morning breeze pulled at my cloak
In vain; my love is still filled with sorrow
١. جَاذَبَتْ نَسْمَةُ الصَّباحِ رِدائي
عَبَثاً جَدَّ في الهوى مِنهُ دَائي
2. It spread the secret of the garden - could it be told
Between the soft wind and the vessels?
٢. وأَذاعَتْ سِرَّ الرِّياضِ وَهَلْ يُكْتَ
سمُ بَينَ النَّسِيمِ والآنَاءِ
3. A small cloud split the mountains
And brought forth the tear of a bereaved woman
٣. بَاكَرَتْها غَمامةٌ شَقّتِ الجَيْ
بَ وجَادَتْ بِدَمعةِ الثَّكْلاءِ
4. The smiles behind the veils
And the crying from the eyes of the clouds
٤. فَثُغُورُ الكِمامِ ذاتُ ابتسامٍ
وَجُفُونُ الغَمامِ ذَاتُ بُكاءِ
