1. Sad, your separation day has distressed me
As the doves' cooing danced the separater
١. أَهاجَكَ يَومَ البَينِ يا سَعدُ إِذ بانوا
غِناءُ حَماماتٍ بِها رَقَصَ البانُ
2. She remained, wiping her tears woefully
Her proclamation's a secret; yours, a declarer
٢. فَظَلَّت تَسُحُّ الدَّمعَ وَهيَ سَواجِعٌ
فَإعلانُها سِرٌّ وَسِرُّكَ إِعلانُ
3. In bidding farewell, longing they installed in you
Fires in the heart; in the eyelids, a hurricane
٣. لَقَد أَودَعوكَ الوَجدَ ساعَةَ وَدَّعوا
فَفي القَلبِ نيرانٌ وَفي الجَفنِ طوفانُ
4. And the smooth pillow's master, so very gentle
The mantle's shaker, the lithesome, fanged one
٤. وَأَهيَفُ مَعسول المَراشِفِ لَيِّنُ ال
مَعاطِفِ مُهتَزُّ الرَوادِفِ وَسنانُ
5. And I've not forgotten him as he prowled and his flank quivered
So the hillocks and branches startled and shook
٥. وَلَم أَنسَهُ إِذ ماسَ وَاِهتَزَّ رِدفُهُ
فَحارَت وَغارَت مِنهُ كُثبٌ وَأَغصانُ
6. Aloofness - yet nothing novel in this gazelle
Devout, for him, with religion, a waver and twist
٦. نفورٌ وَما هَذا مِنَ الظَبيِ بَدعَةٌ
مَلِيٌّ لَهُ بِالدَينِ مَطلٌ وَلَيّانُ
7. Rather, in his suffering, his heart is void
While mine, because of him, with ardour fills
٧. وَلَكِنَّهُ فيما يُعانيهِ فارِغُ ال
فُؤادِ وَقَلبي مِنهُ بِالوَجدِ مَلآنُ
