يا صاح أَما رَأيت شُهباً ظَهَرَت

يا صاح أَما رَأيت شُهباً ظَهَرَت

قَد أَحرَقَت القُلوب ثُم اِستَتَرَت

قَد أَحرَقَت القُلوب ثُم اِستَتَرَت

O friend, have you not seen shooting stars appear?

O friend, have you not seen the comets that appeared,

They burned the hearts, then hid from view.

Burning hearts, then hiding away?

طِرنا طَرَباً لضوئها حينَ طَرَت

طِرنا طَرَباً لضوئها حينَ طَرَت

بانَت وَتَوالَت وَأَثارَت وَسَرَت

بانَت وَتَوالَت وَأَثارَت وَسَرَت

We soared in ecstasy at their light when they emerged.

We were ecstatic at their glow when they darted,

They appeared, followed one another, stirred, and traveled by night.

They shone and followed one another, stirred things up, then slipped away.
