1. The solace of the grieving fills his heart with solace
Sorrows and regrets have prevailed over him
١. دَنِفُ العزاء فؤادُهُ دَنِفُ
ظَفِرَت بهِ الحَسراتُ والأسَفُ
2. Perplexed, nothing brings comfort to his gaze
Except tears and sobbing to suffice
٢. حَيران ليسَ لطرفهِ أنسٌ
إلا السهادُ وعبرةٌ تكِفُ
3. In every part of him, grief takes its hold
Suffering from prolonged yearning brings him grief
٣. في كلِّ جزءٍ منهُ مؤتلفٌ
وجدٌ بطولِ الشوقِ مؤتلِفُ
4. So everything in him is shrouded in sickness
Beyond healing, beyond any description
٤. فالكلُّ مطويٌّ على سقمٍ
فوقَ الشفاء وفوقَ ما تصِفُ
