1. O you who wept as the leaves
Of the doves weep on the branches
١. يا هل بكيت كما بكت
ورق الحمائم في الغصون
2. Crying out deliriously while the ruins
Lift up their eyelids to the rain
٢. هتفت سحيراً والربى
للقطر رافعة الجفون
3. As if they had cast upon
My longing their own yearning
٣. فكأنها صاغت على
شجوي شجى تلك اللحون
4. They reminded me of days gone by
For humankind, no longer murmuring
٤. ذكرنني عهداً مضى
للإنس منقطع القرير
5. So its days withered away
As if the eyes had turned back
٥. فتصرمت أيامه
وكأنها رجع العيون
