1. We were like a pair of pigeons in a wilderness
Enjoying a soft, cozy, and prosperous life
١. وَكثنَّا كَزَوجٍ مِن قَطَا في مَفَازَةٍ
لَدَى خَفضِ عَيشٍ ناعِمٍ مُونِقٍ رَغدِ
2. But the vicissitudes of time separated me
And I have never seen anything so lonesome as separation
٢. فأفرَدَني رَيبُ الزَّمَانِ بِصَرفِهِ
ولم أرَ شيئاً قَطُّ أوحَشَ مِن فَردِ
