1. And when we stood to bid farewell one eve
While my eyes and heart were weeping, sorely grieved
١. ولمّا وقفَنا للوَداعِ عَشيّةً
وَطَرفي وقَلبي أدمعٌ وخُفُوقُ
2. I wept and so made those who envied laugh in glee
As though I were a raincloud and they lightning brief
٢. بكيتُ فأضحكتُ الوُشاةَ شَماتَةً
كأنّي سحابٌ والوُشاةُ بروقُ
