1. أَيا لَيلَتي لَستِ مِثلَ اللَيالي

    وَطُلتِ وَلا كَاللَيالي الطِوالِ

    O my night, you are unlike other nights.

    And you have grown long, yet not like the long nights.

  2. خَليلِيَ لا تَرتَجي نائِلاً

    فَقَد قَطَعَ المَوتُ كَفَّ النَوالِ

    My friend, do not hope for a gift,

    For death has severed the hand of bounty.
