أَقولُ وَقَد طالَ لَيلُ الهُمومِ
وَسامَرتُ نَجوى فُؤادٍ سَقيمِ
I say, now that the night of sorrows has grown long,
And I have passed the night conversing with my ailing heart’s whisper:
تُرى الشَمسُ قَد مَسَخَت كَوكَباً
وَقَد طَلَعَت في عِدادِ النُجومِ
Could the sun have turned into a star,
And risen among the ranks of the stars?
Sol 5.6
