وَيَوْمٍ هَلَّتِ الأمْطَارُ فِيهِ

كَمَا هَلَّتْ دموعُ العَاشِقِينَا

And a day when the rains poured down,

As lovers’ tears poured down,

كَأنَّ الأرْضَ قَدْ فَقَدَتْ وَلِيداً

فَأبْكَتْ أعْيُنَ الآفَاقِ حِينَا

As though the earth had lost a newborn child

And made the eyes of the horizons weep awhile.
