1. A union there was, then severed;
I cried aloud, in grief unmeasured;
١. وِصالٌ كانَ فَاِنقَطَعا
فَصِحتُ لِبَينِهِ جَزَعا
2. How cruel, the woe that you’ve rendered!
My heart struck, shattered and sundered.
٢. وَوَجدٌ يا ظَلومُ بِكُم
أَصابَ القَلبَ فَاِنصَدَعا
3. Passion split me in pieces shredded,
I’ve not seen the like of what you’ve done.
٣. تَقَسَّمَني الهَوى قِطَعا
فَلَم أَرَ مِثلَ ما صَنَعا
4. And your abandonment has created
For me, miseries carefully fashioned.
٤. وَأَبدَعَ لي بِهَجرِكُمُ
بَلايا صاغَها بِدَعا
