كَيفَ أَمسَيتَ مِنَ الهَجرِ فَإِنّي
مِنكَ قَد أَمسَيتُ في جُهدٍ جَهيدِ
How was your evening without me, for I
Spent my evening in great misery without you
عُد إِلى الوَصلِ فَإِنّي عائِدٌ
قَد بَدا لي قَد بَدا لي في الصُعودِ
Return to reunion, for I am returning
The ascent has become clear to me, the ascent has become clear to me
أَهلَكَت ديني بِدورٌ طالِعاتٌ
في دُجى الشَعرِ وَوَردٌ في خُدودِ
You have destroyed my faith with rising houses
In the darkness of hair and roses in cheeks
وَاِرتِواءٌ مِن مُدامٍ في شِفاهٍ
وَاِعتِناقٌ لِغُصونٍ مِن قُدودِ
And sipping wine from lips
And embracing branches of necks
