1. وَصَلَ الكِتابُ كِتابكُم فَأَخَذَتهُ

    وَلصَقتَهُ مِن حُرقَةٍ بِفُؤادي

    The letter arrived—your letter—and I took it,

    And pressed it to my heart out of burning longing.

  2. فَكَأَنَّكُم عِندي نَهاري كُلُّهُ

    وَإِذا رَقَدتُ يَكونُ تَحتَ وِسادي

    So it is as though you are with me all day long;

    And when I sleep, it lies beneath my pillow.
