1. O a girl who visited like a fleeting specter
Enchantingly, and her departure was expected
١. يَا طِفْلةً زَارَتْ كَطَيْفٍ عَابِرٍ
سَحْراً وَكَانَ فِرَاقُهَا مُتَوَقَّعا
2. How soon the fates reclaimed her
After allowing her stay, banishing the repository
٢. مَا أَعْجَلَ الأَقْدَارُ فِي اسْتِرْدَادِهَا
بَعْدَ السَّماحِ نَفْيَهَا المُسْتَوْدَعَا
3. A spirit of subtle charm resided
In a broken heart for a while and became diverse
٣. رُوحٌ مِنَ اللُّطْفِ الْخَفِيِّ أَقَامَ فِي
قَلْبٍ كَسِيرٍ بُرْهَةً وَتَنَوَّعَا
4. Like perfume in a cracked bottle
It found a way to the height and leaked out
٤. كَالطِّيبِ فِي قَارُورَةٍ مَصْدُوعَةٍ
أَلْفَى سَبِيلاً لِلْعُلَى فَتَضَوَّعَا
