1. How much I grieved for the one I parted from
And was patient without him while loneliness crept in
١. كَم قَدْ جَزِعتُ لبَيْنِ من فَارَقْتُه
وصبَرْتُ عنه والحشَا يَتَضرّمُ
2. Like a bow that loosens an arrow and then recoils
From grief, as despair emerges, so you endure
٢. كالقَوسِ تَرمِي السّهمَ ثُمّ تَرِنُّ من
جزعٍ ويبدو اليأسُ منه فَتكْظِمُ
3. If passion could help one in deep agony
The long-suffering wouldn't have died, still suffering
٣. والوجْدُ لو اجدى على ذي لوعةٍ
ما مات بالكَمَدِ القديمِ متَمّمُ
