يأَيها البرقُ الذي

يجلو الدُّجَى إِلى فَمِه

Oh flashing lightning that clears the gloom to his mouth,

Tell my beloved that I yearn for the "m" of his mouth's smile.

قل لحبيبي إِنَّني

صادٍ إِلى ميمِ فَمِه

And if you do, you will have captured a glimmer of his grin.

وإِن فعلت فحَوَيْـ

ـتَ لَمْعَةً مِنْ مَبْسِمِه
