1. وهادَينَنا ما في الصُّدور بأعيُنٍ

    كفى وحْيُها من أن تقولَ وتُرسِلا

    And through their eyes they shared with us what lay in their hearts;

    Their silent signals sufficed, without speech or messages.

  2. عشيّةَ أذرَينَ الدُّموعَ فلم نجِدْ

    على أحدٍ إلاَّ البكاءَ مُعوَّلا

    That evening they shed tears, and we could not find

    Anyone to rely upon except weeping.
