1. وإذا القلوبُ تعلقتْ

    رأتِ الجميعَ جميلا

    And when hearts become attached,

    they see everyone as beautiful,

  2. كسفينةٍ تسعى إلى

    شِعب يكون مَهولا

    like a ship making its way toward

    a ravine that is terrifying.

  3. لهفي على زمنِ الهنا

    إنْ صَحَّ كان بخيلا

    Alas for the time of bliss—

    if it was real, it was miserly.
