1. My soul yearns for our bond to endure
Between me and the epitome of perfection
١. تَرُومُ نَفْسِي أن يَدُومَ الوِصالْ
بَيْني وبَيْنَ الفَرْدِ خِدْن الكَمَالْ
2. But time brings what
Is not wished by the one who fantasizes about meeting
٢. لكِنَّها الأَيّامُ تَأْتِي بِما
لَيْسَ لِمَنْ يَهْوَى اللّقا في خَيَالْ
3. If only the pleasures of company would
Prevent it from becoming devoid of connection
٣. ما نِعَةُ الْجَمْعِ فَيَا لَيْتَها
تَمْنَعُ أَنْ تَخْلُو عَن الاتّصالْ
4. The hardest thing I've heard
In speech is what was told: "farewell"
٤. أَثْقَلُ ما مَرَّ بِسَمْعي مِنَ ال
مَنْطِقِ ما قِيلَ لَهُ الانْفِصَالْ
5. Love has necessitated the judgments of passion
So I can never be pleased with its denial
٥. قَدْ أَوْجبَ الْحُبُّ قَضَايا الْهَوَى
فالسَّلْبُ لا أَرْضَاهُ يَوْماً بحَالْ
6. The form has become accustomed, so why
Does it not produce the desired, which is the connection
٦. تَأَلَّفَ الشَّكْلُ فَما بالُهُ
لا يُنْتِجُ الْمَطْلوبَ وَهْوَ الْوِصالْ
