عيني عن النوم جزاعه

وكثر الهواجيس قزّني

My eyes denied sleep,

And worries overwhelmed me.

وأشبح متى عقرب الساعة

يطوي ظلام الكدر عني

When will the clock's hand

Roll back the gloomy darkness from me?

قلبي زوال الرجا راعه

ما ارتاح يوم ابعدوا مني

My heart was disturbed by vanishing hope.

It hasn't rested since you left me.

وقفت انا لحظة وداعه

أبكي .. وأنا ضاحك سني

I stood at the moment of parting

Crying..though my teeth were laughing.

مسكين من صاحبه باعه

وعيّن لياليه يشرني

Wretched is he who was sold by his friend

And left his nights to mock me.
