1. O you whose words 
Have made you kiss yourself tonight 
١. يا ذا الذي بكلامه
 أَمسى يقبِّل نفسَه
2. I envy you 
So button up your eloquence 
٢. إني أغار عليك من
 ك فبسّ لفظك بَسَّه
3. And turn your gaze from yourself, lest  
Your skin complain of being touched 
٣. واعدِل بلحظِك عنك لا
 يشكو أدِيمُك مسَّه
4. For the night left you its full moon 
And morning mistook you for its sun 
٤. فالليل خالَك بدرَه
 الصبح ظنَّك شَمْسَه
5. Today has become envious  
Of its tomorrow and yesterday 
٥. واليومُ أصبح حاسداً
 غدَه عليك وأَمسَه
