1. How many a night have I spent sleepless and restless,
Yearning in vain for the light of dawn,
١. كَمْ لَيْلَةٍ بِتُّ لا ضَوءَ الصَّباحِ أَرى
وَلا الخَيالَ وَلا نَوْمِي عَلَيَّ بَقِي
2. My thoughts awhirl, my slumber denied.
But the night I was graced with your presence,
٢. وَلَيلَةُ الوَصْلِ لَمَّا أَنْ ظَفِرْتُ بِها
لاحَ الصَّباحُ وَقُرصُ الشَّمْسِ فِي الأُفُقِ
