1. سَقْياً لدارِك هذه من جَنّةٍ

    لو كنتَ لي فيها الغَداةَ جَليسا

    May rain bless this home of yours—a paradise,

    if you were my companion there this morning.

  2. لكنّها حَبْسٌ عليَّ لبُعْدِكمْ

    يا مَن رأَى في جَنّةٍ مَحْبوسا

    But it is a prison to me because you are far away.

    Oh, who has ever seen a prisoner in paradise?
