إِذَا أَوْمَضَ البَرْقُ مِنْ نَحْوِهَا

إِذَا أَوْمَضَ البَرْقُ مِنْ نَحْوِهَا

تَمَثَّلُ لِي أَنَّهَا تَبْتَسِمُ

تَمَثَّلُ لِي أَنَّهَا تَبْتَسِمُ

Whenever lightning flashes from her direction,

When lightning flashes from her abode,

it seems to me that she is smiling.

I imagine she smiles at me.

وَأَذْكُرُهَا فِي المَحَلِّ الجَدِيْبِ

وَأَذْكُرُهَا فِي المَحَلِّ الجَدِيْبِ

فَيُخْصِبُ مِنْ دَمْعِيَ المُنْسَجِمْ

فَيُخْصِبُ مِنْ دَمْعِيَ المُنْسَجِمْ

And I remember her in the barren place,

And I remember her in the desolate place,

and it grows fertile from my streaming tears.

So my harmonious tears make it fertile.
