1. A vision of loved ones came to visit
After fate had laid the vigilant low
١. حَيِّ طَيفاً مِنَ الأَحِبَّةِ زارا
بَعدَما صَرَّعَ الكَرى السُمّارا
2. A phantom in a dream beneath the veil of night
Yearning in daylight to appear once more
٢. طارِقاً في المَنامِ تَحتَ دُجى اللَي
لِ ضَنيناً بَأَن يَزورَ نَهارا
3. I said, why did we part and we were
Of open ears and eyes as never before
٣. قُلتُ ما بالُنا جُفينا وَكُنّا
قَبلَ ذاكَ الأَسماعَ وَالأَبصارا
4. He said, we're as you've known, but
Ornaments distract their wearers evermore
٤. قالَ إِنّا كَما عَهِدتَ وَلَكِن
شَغَلَ الحَليُ أَهلَهُ أَن يُعارا
