Long estrangement and yearning heart

طول اغتراب وبرح شوق

No patience, by God, have I for it

لا صَبرَ والله لي عَلَيه

O best one to whom I complain

يا خَيرَ من يُشتكى إليه

Who holds the pledge fast in his hand

قد غَلّقَ الرَّهنَ في يَدَيهش

Tears that revealed what was in his heart

يَظهر لي بعضَ ما لديه

5. If you could see my narcissus bending
To drink amidst his rose’s bowers

يَنهَلُّ في وردِ صَفحَتَيه

From his tears above his cheeks

من دَمعِه فوقَ وَجنَتَيهِ
