لقد كنتُ زيراً للغَواني أزورُها

فتُضربُ أوتارٌ ويقرُبُ نايُ

I used to visit those who were lost in passions

Where strings would be strummed and flutes brought near

فأصبحت زيراً ناحلاً بعد نأيها

ستطلب أوتار ويقرب ناي

But now that she's gone from me, and far removed

For strings and flutes again I yearn and ache
