أحببت فلاحا كبدرِ الدجا

يفتر لي مبسمه عن نجوم
I loved a farmer like the full moon of the dark night.
I loved a farmer like the full moon,
His smiling mouth parts for me, revealing stars.
His smile shone for me like stars,
قدindeed سقطتhas failed فيin حبهlove for him قوتيmy strength
قد سقطت في حبه قوتي
وماand nothing بقىremained عنديwith me غيرexcept الرسومthe traces
وما بقى عندي غير الرسوم
My strength has indeed failed in my love for him.
I fell in love with him and lost my strength,
And I have nothing left but traces.
And nothing remained with me but lines.
