1. كخافقي ساعةَ الأشواقِ ذا المطرُ

    يهمي وأحبابهُ في بالهِ خطروا

    Like my heart in the hour of longing is this rain;

    it pours, its loved ones having crossed its mind.

  2. كم ودَّ لو ضمَّهم في حضنِ خيمتهِ

    فآنسَ الرُّوحَ من لُقياهُمُ نظرُ

    How it wished to gather them into its tent's embrace,

    so a glimpse upon meeting them might soothe the soul.
