1. لَمَّا رَأَيْتُكِ في المَنامِ أَعَدْتِ لِي

    أَغْلَى الَّذِي حَلَّيْتِ مِنْ أَيَّامِي

    When I saw you in a dream, you restored to me

    the dearest of my days that you had adorned:

  2. أَيَّامَ كُنْتِ النُّورَ في عَيْنِ الرَّجَا

    فَغَدَوْتِ ما أَرْجُو مِنَ الأَحْلامِ

    days when you were the light in the eye of hope,

    and became what I long for in dreams.

  3. ما بَيْنَ عَيْشٍ لا أَرَاكِ وَمِيْتَةٍ

    فيها أَرَاكِ ، شَغَلْتِ لَيْلَ مَنامِي

    Between a life in which I cannot see you and a death

    in which I can see you, you filled the night of my dreams.

  4. أَنْتِ الوُجُودُ ، وَقَدْ مَضَيْتِ، فَمَا بَقَى

    إِلَّا رِضَاكِ يُنِيرُ لِي قُدّامِي

    You are existence itself; you have gone, and nothing remains

    but your approval to light the way ahead of me.

  5. مِنْكِ ابْتدَأْتُ وَمِنْكِ كُلُّ مَزِيَّةٍ

    نُسِبَتْ إِلَيَّ وَمِنْكِ عَذْبُ كَلامِي !

    From you I began, and from you came every virtue

    attributed to me, and the sweetness of my speech comes from you.
