1. رأيـت فيـكِ مالـم أرى

    وولدت في يوم اللقاء

    I saw in you what I had not seen.

    And I was born on the day of the meeting.

  2. فصرتِ في صدري الرحيق

    وصـرتِ فـي صحـرائي ماء

    So you became the nectar in my breast.

    And you became water in my desert.

  3. فأن قلت أرضاً فأنـتِ الوطـن

    وأن صرتُ بحراً فأنتِ السماء

    So if I say “land,” then you are the homeland.

    And if I become a sea, then you are the sky.

  4. وأنتِ في قلبي الوليد حياة

    وأنتِ من غدر الزمان شفاء

    And you are life in my newborn heart.

    And you are a cure for time’s treachery.
