When I stood at the crossroads of lovers

لما وقفت مواقف العشاق

1. When I stood at the crossroads of lovers
And the longing one clung to the longing one

١. لما وقفتُ مواقِفَ العُشّاقِ
وتعلَّق المشتاقُ بالمشتاقِ

2. And at the farewell a yellow veil covered her beauty from the eyes
And she saw the eyes of the ardent admirers and came near

٢. وتَبَرْقَعتْ عِند الوَداعِ بصُفْرةٍ
سَتَرَتْ محاسنَها عن الأَحداقِ

3. To describe the passion with penetrating intensity
She said: "Can you desire life after our separation?"

٣. ورأتْ عيونَ الكاشحين وأَقبلت
تَصِفُ الهوى بتَخَالُسِ الآماق

4. I said: "Abandon the one who lives after separation"

٤. قالت أَتهْوَى العَيشَ بعد فِراقنا
قلت اهجِري من عاش بعد فِراقِ
