1. سقى اللَه أياماً لنا وليالياً

    لهن بأكفاف الشباب ملاعب

    May God water days and nights that were ours,

    whose playgrounds lay along the fringes of youth,

  2. إذ العيش غض والزمان بعزة

    وشاهد أوقات المحبين غائب

    when life was fresh and time was glorious,

    and the witness to lovers’ hours was absent.
