ولا الصبا تستطيع تجيك بمراسله
Thought cannot secure a meeting with you through its messages.
Nor can the east wind reach you bearing its messages.
صبّa passionate lover يزوركvisits you دجىnight’s darkness كمhow much باسcourage ومراسand mettle لهhe has
صبّ يزورك دجى كم باس ومراس له
ومتيمٌand a love-stricken man منكfrom you يرجوhopes for الوصلunion كمhow many راسheads لهhe has
ومتيمٌ منك يرجو الوصل كم راس له
A passionate lover visits you in the darkness—what courage and mettle he has!
And a love-stricken man hopes for union with you—how many heads does he have?
