1. And what pained me was that the day she bid farewell
She turned away while tears welled up, confused, in her eyes
١. وَمِمّا شَجاني أَنَّها يَومَ وَدّعت
تَوَلَّت وَماءُ العَينِ في العَينِ حائرُ
2. Then when from afar she glanced back at me
With a furtive look, her lids bid those tears goodbye
٢. فَلَمّا أَعادَت مِن بَعيدٍ بِنَظرَةٍ
إِلَيّ اِلتفاتاً أَسلَمَته المَحاجرُ
