1. When we met, yearning intensified its efforts
My burning sorrows and reproaches overflowed
١. ولمّا التَقَينا قَرَّبَ الشَوقُ جُهدهُ
شَجِيَّينِ فاضا لَوعَة وَعِتابا
2. As if a lover, in the arms of his beloved
Had slipped away during an embrace, and was gone
٢. كَأنَّ حَبيباً في خِلالِ حَبيبهِ
تَسَرَّبَ أثناءَ العِناقِ وَغابا
