1. You broke my heart, so do not take from those you've broken
What ignorance has taken or left behind
١. فَتَكْتَ فَلا تَأْخُذَنَّ مَنْ فَتَكْ
بما أَخَذَ الجَهْلُ أَوْ ما تَرَكْ
2. Know this - do you not see the monastery in
Masterpieces of fabrics never woven
٢. أَدِرْها أَلَسْتَ تَرى الدَّيْرَ في
بَدائِعَ من حُلَلٍ لَمْ تُحَكْ
3. Between the early dawn and sunset
Between gardens and pools
٣. وبَيْنَ البُكُورِ وبَيْنَ الغُروبِ
وبَيْنَ الرِّياضِ وبَيْنَ البِرَكْ
4. A song to which journeys are bound
In a melody on which gold coins dance
٤. غِناءٌ تُشَدُّ إِلَيْهِ الرِّحالُ
بِلَحْنٍ تُحَلُّ عَلَيْهِ التِّكَكْ
