1. قريت خطّك بالوفا عشر مرّات

    في كل مرّه تنثر العين ماها

    I read your letter in full ten times.

    Each time, the eye scatters its water.

  2. ذكرتني هاك الليال الجميلات

    لو كان قلبي ذاكر(ن) ما نساها

    You reminded me of those beautiful nights.

    Though my heart remembered them and had never forgotten them.

  3. من عقبكم ما عاد للعيش لذّات

    ما التذّ في دنيا مخالف هواها

    Since you left, life has held no pleasures.

    I find no delight in a world whose desires run counter to mine.

  4. اليوم انا مثلك جداي التنهات

    عيني تهل دموعها من عناها

    Today, like you, my only gain is sighs.

    My eye sheds its tears from its anguish.

  5. هايم بعيد الدّار سهران ما بات

    أتبع هواجيس(ن) بعيد(ن) مداها

    Lovesick, far from home, I stay awake and have not slept.

    I follow troubled thoughts whose reach is far.

  6. نار(ن) تلهّب بين الاضلاع زافات

    نار(ن) لجت بالخوف العالي سناها

    A fire flares in surges between my ribs.

    A fire rages with fear, its glow rising high.
