1. I have not forgotten the morning sun shining upon me
While we were being led by the neck in chains
١. لم أنسَ شمسَ الضُحى تُطالِعُني
ونحنُ من رقبَةٍ على فَرَقِ
2. And my eyelids flooding with tears
When it rose in the yellowish horizon
٢. وجفنُ عيني بدمعه شَرِقٌ
لمّا بَدَت في مُعَصفَرٍ شَرَقِ
3. As if my tears and its cheeks
When the slanderers stared at us with enmity
٣. كأنّه أدمعي ووجنَتُها
لمّا رَمَتنا الوشاةُ بالحَدَقِ
4. Then it hid its tearful face in shame
Like the sun sets in the redness of sunset
٤. ثُمَّ تَغَطَّت بُكُمِّها خَجَلاً
كالشمس غابت في حُمرةِ الشَفَقِ
