1. أكلمّا كدتُ أنسى جئتني سحَرًا

    تجاذبُ الروحَ من ذكراكَ .. ألوانا

    Is it whenever I am about to forget that you come to me before dawn,

    Tugging at the soul with colors drawn from remembrance of you?

  2. لله طيفك يدنو حيث أنهره

    فيستثير بجوفِ الروح بركانا

    How wondrous your apparition—it draws near as I rebuff it,

    And stirs a volcano in the depths of the soul.

  3. يا أحسنَ الناس لولا البينُ عاندني

    ما اخترتُ غيركَ بين النّاس سلوانا

    O finest of people, had separation not thwarted me,

    I would not have chosen anyone but you among people for solace.
