1. In the office there is a lover
I would give my soul for him
١. إِنَّ في المَكتَبِ خَشفاً
جُعِلَت نَفسي فِداهُ
2. A young man writing in the air
Teaching his love poems by heart
٢. شادِنٌ يَكتُبُ في اللَو
حِ لِتَعليمِ هِجاهُ
3. Whenever he writes a verse wrong
He reads it and wipes it away
٣. كُلَّما خَطَّ أَبا جا
دٍ قَراهُ فَمَحاهُ
4. With a tongue that time has blackened its mouth
٤. بِلِسانٍ فَتَراهُ ال
دَهرَ قَد سَوَّدَ فاهُ
