1. This is a message from a lover to you it came
With it, a wing of longing flapping
١. هَذِهْ رِسالةُ مَحبوبٍ إَلَيكَ سَرى
بِها جَناحٌ مِنَ الأَشواقِ خَفَّاقُ
2. As though it were written by the blackness of an eye
For that reason, it longs to meet with you
٢. كَأَنَّها مِن سَواد العَين قَد كَتَبَت
لِذاكَ كانَت إِلى لُقياكَ تَشتاقُ
