Claude 2

  1. قد اطبَّاني رشأ مهفهفٌ

    احوى الجفون اختشي برائقه

    A joyful breeze has graced me,

    My eyelids are aflutter, startled by its radiance.

  2. جفوته لا سالياً وهل ترى

    يا زهرتي يجفو الندى شقائقه

    It withered not leaving a trace, could you imagine,

    My flower, that the dew would dry up its petals?

  3. عانقته من دون غزلان النقا

    وقد قضى الحب بأن اعانقه

    I embraced it without the gazelles of Naqā witnessing,

    And love had decreed that I embrace it.

  4. يرنو وما يرنو بغير فاترٍ

    ذي حور يزجُّ لي رواشقه

    It glances my way languidly,

    Like a houri casting amorous glances my way.

  5. هو الزمان اختشيه طارقاً

    وهل فتى لا يختشي طوارقه

    It is time, I fear its darkness,

    What lad does not dread its darkness?

  6. قضى عليَّ بالفراق برهة

    ممشوق قد عزّ بأن افارقه

    It has ordained my separation awhile,

    Empowered, having decided I leave it.
