1. للهِ مَنْزِلُنا بقَريَةِ بَيِّشِ

    كادَ الهَوى فيها ادِّكاراً بِي يَشي

    How splendid our dwelling in the village of Bayyish!

    There, love nearly betrayed me as I remembered.

  2. رُحنْا إليْها والبِطاحُ كأنّها

    صُحفٌ مُذَهَّبةٌ بإبْريز العَشي

    We went there, and the plains seemed like

    pages gilded with the pure gold of evening.
