وافي خَيالُكَ زائراً تَحتَ الدُّجَى

وافي خَيالُكَ زائراً تَحتَ الدُّجَى

حَتّى اِنتَبَهتُ لَهُ فَولَّى مُدبِرا

حَتّى اِنتَبَهتُ لَهُ فَولَّى مُدبِرا

Your image came as a visitor beneath the darkness,

Your imagination came visiting me under the darkness

Until I became aware of it; then it turned away, retreating.

Until I became aware of it, so it turned away hastily

يا طَيفُ في كَنَفِ السَلامةِ فَاِرتَحِل

يا طَيفُ في كَنَفِ السَلامةِ فَاِرتَحِل

وَعَساكَ تُخبرُ مَن أُحبُّ بِما تَرى

وَعَساكَ تُخبرُ مَن أُحبُّ بِما تَرى

O phantom, depart in the shelter of safety,

Oh ghost, depart to the refuge of peace

And may you tell the one I love what you see.

And may you inform those I love of what you see
