وليل هزمني القلب وجدا

فذكرني بماضية الليالي

My heart was overcome by a night of yearning

Reminding me of past nights

يطارحها الخيال ورب وقت

به الآلام تسكن بالخيال

Conjured up by the imagination, and at times

Sorrows settle into the imagination

تثبت يا فؤاد فأي شيء

يصح له الآمان من الزوال

Be steadfast, oh heart, for what thing

Can be secure from fading away
