1. My heart taught me a pocket I do not recognize
I do not deny the heart except whenever it beats
١. عَلّمْتِ قَلْبِي وَجِيباً لَسْتُ أَعْرِفُهُ
ما أُنْكِرُ القَلبَ إلاَّ كُلّما خَفَقَا
2. O longing of two companions, separation came between them
So they punished it for the farewell, and embraced
٢. يا شَوْقَ إِلْفَينِ حالَ البَيْنُ بَينهما
فعاقَباهُ على التَّوْديعِ فاعْتَنَقا
3. If I controlled my eyes I wouldn't have cried with them
Frightened by my crying after them, yearning
٣. لو كُنْتُ أَمْلِكُ عَيني ما بَكَيْتُ بها
تَطَيُّراً مِنْ بُكائي بَعْدَهُمْ شَفَقا
