1. ذكرْتُ في قَاسيونَ اليومَ أُلْفَتَنا

    أيامَ نحنُ جميعٌ والمنى أَمَمُ

    Today on Qasiyun I recalled our companionship,

    The days when we were together and hopes were close at hand.

  2. فراحَ يقْدحُ زندَ الشوقِ قادُحه

    في مهجتي ولهيبُ الوجد يضطرمُ

    Then longing's kindler began striking its firestick

    Within my heart, while the flame of passion blazed.
