From me comes anxiety; from Sulayma, flattery.
I'm restless and from Sulaima comes my cure
Since her hair’s parting is night, and mine is dawn.
Since we parted, my darkness and her dawn tore
لاno غَرْوwonder إذاif رأيتَناyou see us نَفتَرِقُwe part
لا غَرْو إذا رأيتَنا نَفتَرِقُ

الصَبْحُ معَ الظّلامِ لا يَتّفِقُ
No wonder if you see us part:
No wonder when you see us parting evermore
Morning does not accord with darkness.
The morning and the darkness never can concur
