I wrote to you before, a letter

كتبت ومن قبل الكتاب إليكم

1. I wrote to you before, a letter
I wrote on my cheek lines of blood

١. كَتَبتُ وَمِن قَبلِ الكِتابِ إِلَيكُمُ
كَتَبتُ عَلى خَدّي سُطوراً مِنَ الدَمِ

2. So my eye, there is no sun but Ahmed’s face
So you are in the darkness of his absence at night

٢. فَيا عَينُ لا شَمسٌ سِوى وَجهِ أَحمَدٍ
فَأَنتِ بِلَيلٍ مِن تَنائيهِ مُظلِمِ

3. If you complain to the sun about him out of necessity
When the sun of day rises, greet it

٣. فَإِن تَستَنيبي الشَمسَ عَنهُ ضَروَةً
فَإِن طَلَعَت شَمسُ النَهارِ فَسَلِّمي
