لم يرني الطيفُ إذا أتاني

لم يرني الطيفُ إذا أتاني

لأن جسمي ذات انتحالا

لأن جسمي ذات انتحالا

The phantom did not see me when he came to me,

The specter did not see me when it came

Because my body was possessed of emaciation [wording unclear].

For my body is one of impersonation

وعندما دله أنيني

وعندما دله أنيني

بات كلانا يرى خيالا

بات كلانا يرى خيالا

And when my moaning guided him to me,

And when my moaning showed it

We both spent the night seeing a phantom.

We both began to see an illusion
