1. يا ساهِدَ النَجمِ هَل لِلصُبحِ مِن خَبَرِ

    إِنّي أَراكَ عَلى شَيءٍ مِنَ الضَجَرِ

    O sleepless watcher of the stars, is there any news of dawn?

    Indeed, I see you are somewhat restless.

  2. أَظُنُّ لَيلَكَ مُذ طالَ المُقامُ بِهِ

    كَالقَومِ في مِصرَ لا يَنوي عَلى سَفَرِ

    I think your night, since its stay has grown long,

    Is like the people in Egypt: it has no intention of departing.
