1. 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

  2. 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

  3. 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

  4. وَاِرتِواءٌ مِن مُدامٍ في شِفاهٍ

    وَاِعتِناقٌ لِغُصونٍ مِن قُدودِ

    And sipping wine from lips

    And embracing branches of necks
