After your departure, the home is no longer a home

من بعد سيرك ما الديار ديار

1. After your departure, the home is no longer a home
No, nor are its traces, traces

١. من بعد سيرك ما الديار ديارُ
كلاَّ ولا آثارها آثارُ

2. A journey you took, with it souls traveled, and if only
With it hearing and sights had journeyed

٢. سيرٌ سرت معهُ النفوس وحبذا
لو سار معهُ السمع والأبصارُ

3. Strange is a fire in the wilderness that does not die out
With copious tears, though they abundant flow

٣. عجباً لنار في الحشا لا تنطفي
بسوابق العبرات وهي غزارُ

4. So I long for lightning forged by hand, perhaps
Through its wire news would continue to flow

٤. فأتوق للبرق الصناعي علهُ
في سلكه تتواصل الأخبارُ

5. Thus I send my longing for you, fervently
Hoping the reply would lighten the caravans

٥. فأبث أشواقي إليك تلهفاً
علَّ الجواب تخف فيهِ سيَّارُ

6. Maybe with time an hour will come
When we meet again and fates unravel

٦. فعسى مع الدوران تأتي ساعةٌ
فيها نراه وتنجلي الأقدار
