ذكرْتُ في قَاسيونَ اليومَ أُلْفَتَنا

أيامَ نحنُ جميعٌ والمنى أَمَمُ

In Qasioun today I recalled our friendship

Days when we were all together and wished for more

فراحَ يقْدحُ زندَ الشوقِ قادُحه

في مهجتي ولهيبُ الوجد يضطرمُ

So it began to kindle the fire of longing

In my soul, and the flames of passion were lit
