1. The wakefulness has hurt his eyelid,
And grief has wasted his body,
١. أضرَّ بطرفهِ السهدُ
وأنحلَ جسمَهُ الكمَدُ
2. And sighs and sorrows disturb him,
More than he can bear,
٢. وأقلقهُ من الزفراتِ
والأحزانِ ما يجِدُ
3. His heart flies with yearning,
But a hand holds it back,
٣. يطيرُ فؤادُهُ شوقاً
فتحبسهُ عليهِ يدُ
4. Does the ardour of love not hurt
A heart and a body without end?
٤. أما لضنى أضرَّ بِقل
بهِ وبجسمهِ أمدُ
