1. The morning dawned with the visitor at dawn
When he traveled, intoxication led him to his loved ones

2. We thanked that which intoxication did
And we embraced from him a soft branch

3. That bends between chubbiness and a moon
And sings me a melodious voice

4. If it were to sing to a dead man, he would be brought back to life
The orange trees were watered by the rain

5. How many splendid days we have with you
And he sang when bidding me farewell

6. While tears from my eyes flow down
The day I saw a raven fallen

7. The worst that flew on the worst of trees
And it clung to my surplus clothes

8. So it sang to me though it had stumbled
And if it stumbled in its pace

9. It stumbled with my name and said “Omar”
I said, “Do not tell anyone my secret”

10. So it sang to me, and can the moon be hidden?
I said, “Forget me when you leave me”

11. So it sang with coquetry and fluttered
I wish the one I love would see me staying up

12. Spilling the ground with pouring pearls
That is a man I was exposed to

13. The suffering of worries and thoughts
I do not know, whenever I discern what

14. I have of hearing and seeing him
Which is more fortunate for me

15. The fortune of my hearing him or the fortune of sight?
Except that I lose life when

16. He is absent from my eyes and I live when he is present
