Alas! How can I thank some of what

ألا ليت شعري كيف أشكر بعض ما

1. Alas! How can I thank some of what
I have been endowed with of the gifts of the dovelike dove

١. ألا ليتَ شعري كيف أشكُرُ بعض ما
تطوَّقتُ مِن مَنِّ الحَمَامِ الُمطَوَّقِ

2. My skull would be sacrificed for him as it fell on me
And a chick appeared from its cracked egg

٢. فَدَت مُهجَتي أيكاً عليه سقوطه
وفرخاً بَدَا من بيضه المتفلّقِ

3. My wailing accompanied his wailing when
My friend wearied me and left me every sympathizer

٣. لَسَاعدَ نَوحي نَوحَه حين مَلَّني
خليلي وخلَّى صحبتي كلُّ مُشفِقِ

4. We are equal in crying except that I
Cried for my longings while he does not yearn

٤. كلانا سواءٌ في البكا غير أنني
بَكَيتُ لأشواقي ول يتشوقِ
