Had it not been for my youth the day they bid farewell,

وما كنت لولا صبوتي يوم ودعوا

1. Had it not been for my youth the day they bid farewell,
And their feeble eyelids began to flutter,

١. وما كنتُ لولا صبوتي يوم ودّعوا
وأجفانهم تلك الضعيفةُ تفتكُ

2. No sleeping glance of theirs would’ve kept me awake,
Empty of them, yet a glance makes me laugh and weep.

٢. ليسهرني من بينهم طرفُ راقدٍ
خليٍ ويبكيني الخليُّ ويضحكُ
