We stopped as our loved ones' departure drew near

وقفنا وقد شطت بأحبابنا النوى

1. We stopped as our loved ones' departure drew near
At the abode, weeping for it as its dwellers bid adieu

١. وقفنا وقد شطت بأحبابنا النوى
على الدار نبكيها سقى ربعها المزن

2. And the tears of those stopped increased at its trace
As if ships were sent off by them, so the ships would flow

٢. وزادت دموع الواكفين برسمها
فلو أرسلت سفن بها جرت السفن

3. No patience helps withstand the departure
After bidding farewell to the dear ones and the eyelids

٣. ولم يق صبر يستعان على النوى
به بعد توديع الخليط ولا جفن

4. We asked the morning breeze when we saw our love
Grow with the dwellers of the camp, and the passion came close

٤. سألنا الصبا لما رأينا غرامنا
يزيد بسكان الحمى والهوى يدنو

5. Is there in you, O wind, a place for carrying longing?
For the bodies have grown too weak to bear our longing

٥. أفيك لحمل الشوق يا ريح موضع
فقد ضعفت عن حمل أشواقنا البدن
