The poems are by the most prominent poet in the 20th century Ahmed Shawqi (d.1932). The poetry could be interpreted as follows:
It is dark, I cannot sleep, and the night stars are watching. Planets, stars, and other objects are crossing through my vision, never mind my worries, across speed and space.
And you my gazelle, you are my sunshine in the middle of the dark nights and when you rise, all worries and lack of will soon vanish away.
