لستُ أنساهُ فأذكرُهُ

لم يغب عني فأنكرُه

I have not forgotten him, so I remember him

He did not disappear from me, so I deny him

صارَ من عيني إلى بدني

شخصُهُ فالقلبُ يبصرُه

From my eyes to my body

His image, so my heart sees him

من يريكَ الشمسَ طالعةً

في سوادِ الليلِ جوهرُه

Who shows you the rising sun

In the darkness of night, its essence

عِزهُ يطويهِ عن بصري

وانتشار النومِ يُظهرُه

His glory hides him from my sight

And the spreading of sleep reveals him
