1. Sick at heart, frail in body
His eyes have never tasted the sweetness of sleep
١. مدنفُ القلبِ سقيمُ البدنِ
لم تذُق عَيناهُ طَعمَ الوَسنِ
2. His eyelids have become accustomed to tears
Just as his insides have become accustomed to sorrow
٢. أنسَ الأجفانُ بالدمعِ كما
أنِست أحشاؤهُ بالحزَنِ
3. Oh reproacher, do not reproach me
Blame me for loving one who abandons me
٣. أيُّها العاذلُ لا تعذلُني
لُمتَني في حبِّ من يَهجرني
4. I do not see him and find him dejected
Yet he is happy if he does not see me
٤. لا أراهُ فأرى مكتئباً
وَهو المَسرورُ إن لم يَرني
