ودَّعَتْني بطرفِها

ودَّعَتْني بطرفِها

ومضَتْ وَهْيَ لا تعي

ومضَتْ وَهْيَ لا تعي

She bade me farewell with her glance,

She bid me farewell with a glance

And went away, unaware,

And left, not knowing

يدُها فوقَ خدِّها

يدُها فوقَ خدِّها

ويدي فوقَ أضلعي

ويدي فوقَ أضلعي

Her hand upon her cheek,

Her hand on her cheek

And my hand upon my ribs.

And mine on my ribs
