1. بَدا أَشقرُ العارضينِ ضُحى

    بِوَجهِ الّذي لم يدَعْ بي رمَقْ

    Blond cheek-hair appeared in the morning,

    on the face of him who left no breath of life in me.

  2. فَيا لَهفَ قَلبي لِشَمسِ الجَمالِ

    وَصُبحِ الجَبينِ المُنيرِ الغسَقْ

    And oh, my heart’s anguish for the sun of beauty,

    and the dawn of the brow that illuminates the dusk!

  3. أآنَ لشمسِ الجبالِ الغروبُ

    إِذ زالتِ الشّمسُ تَحتَ الشّفَق

    Has the time come for the sun of the mountains to set,

    since the sun has vanished beneath the twilight?
