1. يراجع قلبى بثه كلما دنا

    خيالك في ليل تغيب كواكبه

    My heart revisits its anguish whenever there draws near

    Your image, in a night whose stars disappear.

  2. وما ارهق الطيف الزيارة بعدما

    أعل فؤاداً كاد يندك جانبه

    And the visit did not weary the apparition, after

    It had sickened a heart whose side nearly crumbled.

  3. دنا غير هياب وراح محملا

    من العين دمعاً لا تجف سواكبه

    It drew near unafraid and departed laden

    With tears from the eye, whose streams never dry.
