1. رَقَّت لِحَديث شَوقيَ الأَسحارُ

    واِستَرسَل في حَنينها الأَطيارُ

    The predawn hours grew tender at the tale of my longing.

    And the birds gave free rein to their yearning cries.

  2. وَالصُبحُ بِشَطِّ جَيبِهِ وافَقَني

    وَالمزنَةُ سال دَمعُها المِدرارُ

    And dawn joined me, rending its collar.

    And the rain cloud's copious tears flowed.
