1. My tear ducts still overflow since you left
Like heavy rains that pour down without rest
١. لَم تَزَل مُقلَتي تَفيضُ بِدَمعِ
مِثلِ الغُيوثِ مُذ فَقَدَتها
2. One eye sheds tears that flow swift and fast
The other dries up hoping the pain's past
٢. مُقلَةٌ دَمعُها حَثيثٌ وَأُخرى
كُلَّما جَفَّ دَمعُها أَسعَدَتها
3. No sooner does a teardrop cease to flow
Than the next begins, adding to my woe
٣. ما جَرَت هَذِهِ عَلى الخَدِّ حَتّى
لَحِقَت تِلكَ بِالَّتي سَبَقَتها
4. Tear after tear rolls down my cheeks' incline
Each chasing the one that came before its time
٤. دَمعَةٌ بَعدَ دَمعَةٍ فَإِذا ما
لَحَقَت تِلكَ هَذِهِ أَحدَرَتها
