1. ساعة البعد عنك شهر وعام

    الوصل يمضي كأنما هو ساعه

    An hour of separation from you is a month and a year.

    Togetherness passes as though it were an hour.

  2. أتنجم الليل الطويل صبابة

    وتنجمي لنجوم ذي تفليك

    I watch the stars through the long night out of longing.

    And my stargazing is for the stars of one with rounded form.

  3. ويخفق مني القلب أن هبت الصبا

    ويذكرني البدر المنير محياك

    And the heart within me flutters at the blowing of the east breeze.

    And the radiant full moon reminds me of your face.

  4. ألا ليت شعري كم يقاسي من النوى

    وأنحائه قلب يذوب تجلدا

    Ah, if only I knew how much is suffered through separation

    And its forms by a heart that melts while striving to remain steadfast.
