هَذِهْ رِسالةُ مَحبوبٍ إَلَيكَ سَرى

بِها جَناحٌ مِنَ الأَشواقِ خَفَّاقُ

This is a message from a lover to you it came

With it, a wing of longing flapping

كَأَنَّها مِن سَواد العَين قَد كَتَبَت

لِذاكَ كانَت إِلى لُقياكَ تَشتاقُ

As though it were written by the blackness of an eye

For that reason, it longs to meet with you
