The moon and the night reminded me of him

وذكرنيه البدر والليل دونه

1. The moon and the night reminded me of him
So I spent the night oscillating between longing and patience

١. وَذَكَّرَنيهِ البَدرُ وَاللَيلُ دونَهُ
فَباتَ بِحَدِّ الشَوقِ وَالصَبرِ يَلعَبُ

2. Like memories of fever and the beloved in the twisting sands
And memories of youth while my hair grows increasingly grey

٢. كَذِكرى الحِمى وَالحَيِّ في مَنعَجِ اللَوى
وَذِكرُ الصِبا وَالرَأسُ أَخلَسُ أَشيَبُ

3. So in the darkness of night I grow ever more sleepless
For nothing is hard, except what the night makes harder

٣. فَأَزدادُ في جُنحِ الظَلامِ صَبابَةً
فَلا صَعبَ إِلّا وَهوَ بِاللَيلِ أَصعَبُ
