وَبي كَسرُ جفنِ الحِبِّ صَيَّرَ في الدّجى

لِجَفني مَفتوحاً مِنَ الوجدِ لِلصُّبحِ

And the break of dawn my longing eyes made open

Through all the dark from passions without rest or sleep.

وَلَم أَدرِ مِن قَبل الهَوى كَسر جَفنِهِ

غَدا عامِلاً في جفنِ عَيني لِلفَتحِ

Before this love I never felt the sorrow

That now has worked this opening of my eyes so deep.
