A flash of lightning with strange colors spread its wings.

تألق برق من غريب اللوى جنحا

1. A flash of lightning with strange colors spread its wings.
So it widened the fire of yearning in my innermost being like a goblet.

١. تَألّقَ برق من غريب اللوى جنحا
فأوسع زَنْدَ الشوق في مهجتي قدحا

2. And it purified my passion for the one I loved in the past,
Like a gentle eastern breeze blowing from all directions.

٢. وأزكى الجوى مني لسالفه الهوى
نسيم شذا الخيريّ من سائر الأنحا

3. And it reminded me of that old love, though anguish
That echoes after the trilling, giving rise to laments.

٣. وأذكرني الوجدَ القديم سويْجعٌ
يرجَّع في إِثر الهديل له صدحا

4. It sang with a yearning that stirred every sorrow in me
For that time when tears gushed copiously after it.

٤. أرنَّ بشجو هاجَ بي كلَّ لوعى
لعهد سفحت الدمع في إِثره سفحا
