1. Among the flames a burning ember
His tears reveal what he tries to hide
١. بينَ حشاهُ لهبٌ مضرمُ
فدمعه يظهرُ ما يكتمُ
2. A lovesick heart which illness resides
To longing and to sorrows he has surrendered
٢. متيمٌ ذو سقمٍ قلبُهُ
للشوقِ والأحزانِ مستسلمُ
3. He cried until no more tears would come
After the tears only blood remains
٣. بكى فلم تبقَ له عبرةٌ
وليسَ بعد الدمعِ إلا الدمُ
4. A moment took hold of his heart
In which obscure fate was swift to gain
٤. تمكنت من قلبهِ لحظةٌ
أسرَع فيها القدرُ المُبهَمُ
