1. The image of my beloved still lingers in my mind
Though the homelands have distanced me from him
١. خيال حبيبي لم يزل ضمن خاطري
وان بعدت منه الديار قريبا
2. My innermost self whispers to him though he is absent
I sensed his presence disappearing, O this passing world
٢. يناجيه سري حاضرا وهو غائب
اشمت حضورا يا هذيم مغيبا
3. He gathered opposites, so he is, by rights
At times a healer of my love, at times its sickness
٣. لقد جمع الاضداد فهو وحقه
غدا ممرضا لي في الهوى وطبيبا
4. I think of him constantly, and for his sake
Tears flow freely down my cheeks
٤. احاضره فكرا وإني لأجله
الجلج دمعا في الخدود سكيبا
5. After him and his life, my heart chose no one
As a beloved in this whole existence
٥. وما اختار قلبي بعده وحياته
من الناس في هذا الوجود حبيبا
6. And it's said, how strange - his name still echoes
If for a moment I forgot him, that would be strange
٦. وقيل عجيب كم تردد ذكره
وان طرفة انساه كان عجيبا
7. Wondrous is the beauty of the one I loved, and I
For him, have become a stranger in both worlds
٧. غريب جمال من عشقت وانني
به صرت بين العالمين غريبا
