1. The heart is overflowing with worries, so if
You pass by with a cup, bring it over to overflow
١. قَدْ طَفِحَ القَلْبُ بِالهُمومِ فَإِنْ

2. In the wing of a night whose stars are seen
Heading west, all winging
٢. في جُنْحِ ليْلٍ تُرى كَواكِبُهُ
وهي إِلى الغَرْبِ كُلُّها جُنَّحْ
3. We saw you forget the joy of your day in
The monastery of Sa'id and its wide shade
٣. نَراكَ تَنْسى سُرورَ يَوْمِكَ في
دَيْرِ سَعيدٍ وَظِلِّهِ الأَفْيَحْ
4. On a carpet of violets that
Rain showers of roses on it have scattered
٤. عَلى بِساطٍ مِنَ البَنَفْسِجِ قَدْ
أَلقي مِنَ الوردِ فَوْقَهُ مَطْرَحْ
5. And a cup of wine the moon pours around
Its shine in our hearts a wound does scratch
٥. وكَأْسِ راحٍ يُديرُها قَمَرٌ
لِحاظُهُ في قُلوبِنا تَجْرَحْ
6. Once in the past he would hint with
Reunion but I see he has become candid
٦. قَدْ كَانَ فيما مَضى يُعَرِّضُ بِالْ
وَصْلِ ولَكِنْ أَراهُ قَدْ صَرَّحْ
