The wings of dawn appeared, they did not flutter,

بدت وجناح الفجر لم يتنفض

1. The wings of dawn appeared, they did not flutter,
Flashes of lightning complaining - where is the twinkler?

١. بَدَتْ وَجَناحُ الفَجْرِ لَمْ يَتَنَفَّضِ
لَوامِعُ بَرْقٍ يَشْتَكي الأَيْنَ مُومِضِ

2. The smile of prosperity and wellbeing is seen,
It bids me farewell while the star did not wink.

٢. يَلوحُ ابْتِسامَ العامِرِيَّةِ وَالجَوى
يُبَرِّحُ بي وَالنَّجْمُ لَمْ يَتَعَرَّضِ

3. So I said to my closest friend as he folded
Over sleep his eyelids, the night slumbering,

٣. فَقُلْتُ لِأَدْنَى صاحِبَيَّ وقد طَوى
عَلى النَّوْمِ جَفْنَيْ راقِدِ اللَّيْلِ مُغْمِضِ

4. “Wake up and rouse me!” But leave me be, and her love,
For my rouser in youth makes me sick.

٤. تَصِحُّ وَتَلْحانِي فَذَرْنِي وَحُبَّها
فَإِنَّ مُصِحِّي في الصَّبابَةِ مُمْرِضي

5. He who is consoled of his passion, I swear
By your life! I have not been consoled.

٥. وَمَنْ يَتَعَوَّضْ عَنْ هَواهُ فَإِنَّني
وَجَدِّكَ عَنْ ظَمْياءَ لَمْ أَتَعَوَّضِ

6. I yearn for her while fortune is settled
Between us, and the homes of the neighborhood did not crumble.

٦. أَحِنُّ إِلَيْها وَالنَّوى مُطمَئِنَّةٌ
بِنا وَبُيوتُ الحَيِّ لَمْ تَتَقوَّضِ

7. Neither is patience present, nor is the heart forgetful,
Neither is union complete, nor longing finished.

٧. فَلا الصَّبْرُ مَوْجودٌ وَلا القَلْبُ ذاهِلٌ
وَلا الشَّمْلُ مَجْموعٌ وَلا الشَّوْقُ مُنْقَضِ
