1. يا درةً أودعتها في الثرى

    ويا هلالاً غاب إذ أقمرا

    O pearl that I laid in the earth,

    And O crescent that vanished when it became a full moon,

  2. قد ذاب قلبي فجرى أدمعاً

    يغسل من جفني بقايا الكرى

    My heart has melted and flowed as tears,

    Washing the remnants of slumber from my eyelid.
