Wa Daret El Ayyam:
wa daret al ayaam

ma bein baad wakhsaam
waqaabelta naseet ini khaasemta
wanseet elleil illi saharta
wasaamhat azaab qalbi waheerta
ma arfesh izaay ana kilmata
ma aqdarsh ala bad habeebi
ana leyya meen ila habeebi
qaabelni wal ashwaaq fi ainaya
salam wakhad eedi fi eediya
wahams li qalli alhaq alaiya
naseet saathaa badna leih
feen damowa aini illi ma naamet layaali
baabetsaama min ayouna nashaali
amerazaab wa ahla azaab
azaab alhob lal ahbaab
ma qadrash asbar youm ala bada
da assabr aayez sabr lowahda
ma qadrash ala bad habeebi
ana leih meen illa habeebi
wasfouli assabr laqeeta khayaal
waklaam fi alhob ya doub yanqaal
ahrab min qalbi arouh ala feen
layaaleena elhelwa fee kol mak'an
