1. With an eye that sees into the heart's darkness
Yet my eyelids know no sleep
١. ومطّلعٍ على كمدِ الفؤادِ
وما بالمقلتين من السهادِ
2. I sent a teardrop to him
Flowing with the blood of ceaseless weeping
٢. بعثت إليه من عيني دمعاً
جرى بدم المدامع والرقادِ
3. And a restless heart called out to him
Do you not see your arrows in my darkness?
٣. وناداه فؤادٌ مستهامٌ
ألست ترى سهامك في سوادي
4. He said to the one calling him, awaken, for I
Will remain distant for as long as I live
٤. فقال لمن دعاه أفق فإني
مقيمٌ ما حييتُ على البعادِ
