1. My companion's eye was moist and red
Diminishing the magic of his gaze
١. رَنَا وفي طَرْفِهِ اِحْمِرارٌ
يغُضُّ من سِحْر مُقْلَتَيْهِ
2. Dew dripped from his narcissi
Dyeing his cheeks and gardens
٢. وَفاضَ مِن نَرْجسَيْهِ ماءٌ
ضرَّجَهُ ورْدُ وجْنَتَيْهِ
3. I said: "Oh healer of my soul
I think my sickness has spread to you"
٣. فقلتُ يا مُمْرِضِي بوجهٍ
أَظنُّ دائي سَرى إِليهِ
4. Alas - do not deny you've killed me
٤. هَيهاتَ لا تَجْحَدَنَّ قتْلي
هذا دمي شاهدٌ عليهِ
