1. O you who left, why does your departure aggrieve me
While my hopes in you were diminishing in earnest
١. يا غَادِرينَ إِلامَ يَثْني هَجرُكُم
وملالُكُم أمَلِي بجَدٍّ نَاكِصِ
2. I, from loving you, am between increased love
And diminished fortune that has reached its end with me
٢. أنا مِن هَواكُم بين حبٍّ زائدٍ
بَلَغَ النهايةَ بي وحظٍّ ناقصِ
3. I am content with your imperfect affection
And I allow your pure and sincere love
٣. أرضَى مشُوبَ الوُدِّ منكُم بالقِلى
وأُبِيحُكُم محضَ الوداد الخَالِصِ
