1. إِذا طَلَعَت شَمسُ النَهارِ فَسَلِّمي

    فَآيَةُ تَسليمي عَلَيكِ طُلوعُها

    When the sun of day rises, offer your greetings,

    For its rising is the sign of my greeting to you.

  2. بِعَشرِ تَحِيّاتٍ إِذا الشَمسُ أَشرَقَت

    وَعَشرٍ إِذا اِصفَرَّت وَحانَ رُجوعُها

    With ten salutations when the sun shines,

    And ten when it turns yellow and its return is at hand.

  3. وَلَو أَبلَغَتها جارَةٌ قَولِيَ اِسلَمي

    بَكَت جَزَعاً وَاِرفَضَّ مِنها دُموعُها

    And were a neighbor woman to convey my words, 'Be safe,' to her,

    She would weep in anguish, and her tears would stream from her.

  4. وَبانَ الَّذي تَخفي مِنَ الوَجدِ في الحَشا

    إِذا جائَها عَنّي هَديثٌ بَرَوعَها

    And the longing she hides within her breast would be revealed,

    When frightening news of me reaches her.
