1. I find solace in endless wandering,
Not wanting any alternative to its boundlessness.
١. آنَستُ نَفسي بِالتَوَح
حُدِ لا أُريدُ بِهِ بَديلا
2. Though hidden sorrow dwells in the heights of purpose,
The determination to attain has lasting dwelling places within me.
٢. موفٍ عَلى شَرَفِ المَنِي
يَةِ مُضمِرٌ حَزَناً دَخيلا
3. Oh neighbor who has departed from me,
Elevating herself through grace and stature.
٣. لَكِنَّ وارِدَةَ الحِما
مِ مَوائِلاً عِندي مُثولا
4. My beloved remains inaccessible,
And I have no path to visit him.
٤. يا جيرَةً ذَهَبَت عَلَي
يَ عَلَوا بِها عَرضاً وَطولا
5. The eyes stand watch
To reap from me words and tales.
٥. أَمسى الحَبيبُ وَلا أُطي
قُ إِلى زِيارَتِهِ سَبيلا
6. If this continues, life remains,
But little of me will remain for it.
٦. أَلقَت مُراقَبَةَ العُيو
نِ لِتَجتَني قالاً وَقيلا
٧. إِن دامَ ذا كانَ البَقا
ءُ وَلا بَقيتُ لَهُ قَليلا
