1. قَلبي لِدُجى الظَلامِ دامي الجرحِ

    أَرجو عِدَةَ الوَصلِ وَما مِن نُجحِ

    My heart’s wound bleeds at the deep gloom of darkness.

    I hope for promised union, yet to no avail.

  2. مِمّا مطلت بِهِ اللَيالي عَيني

    أَنوارُ جَمالها وَوَجهُ الصُبحِ

    Among what the nights have delayed granting my eye

    Are the lights of her beauty and the face of dawn.
