1. A beloved who time has taken from me with his nearness
Has made me solitary without a beloved
١. حَبيبٌ نَأى عَنّي الزَمانُ بِقُربِهِ
فَصَيَّرَني فَرداً بِغَيرِ حَبيبِ
2. So I have a sorrowful heart and a dangling mind
And the loneliness of an abandoned one and the humiliation of a stranger
٢. فَلي قَلبُ مَحزونٍ وَعَقلُ مُدَلَّهٍ
وَوَحشَةُ مَهجورٍ وَذُلُّ غَريبِ
3. O consequence of days, is there in you a hope
Of restoring a beloved or dispelling sorrows
٣. فَيا عُقَبَ الأَيامِ هَل فيكِ مَطمَعٌ
لِرَدِّ حَبيبٍ أَو لِدَفعِ كُروبِ
