1. You bid me farewell with a sigh and an embrace
Then called out, when will we meet again?
١. ودَّعتَني بزَفرةٍ واعْتِناقِ
ثم نادَتْ متى يكونُ التَّلاقي
2. She turned away as dawn broke from her
Between those folds and wraps
٢. وتصَدَّتْ فأشرقَ الصبحُ مِنها
بينَ تلكَ الجيوبِ والأطواقِ
3. O sleepless from love not sickness
Between your eyes lies the slain of lovers
٣. يا سقيمَ الجفونِ من غيرِ سُقمٍ
بينَ عَينيكَ مَصرعُ العُشَّاقِ
4. Indeed the day of parting is the most dreadful day
Would that I had died before the day of parting
٤. إنَّ يومَ الفِراقِ أَفظعُ يومٍ
ليتَني مِتُّ قبلَ يومِ الفراقِ
