1. You recalled India and its storms
Yet your soul did not fulfill its days there
١. تَذَكَّرتَ هِنداً وَأَعصارَها
وَلَم تَقضِ نَفسُكَ أَوطارَها
2. The soul recalled what had passed
And its tears welled up in the eyes
٢. تَذَكَّرَتِ النَفسُ ما قَد مَضى
وَهاجَت عَلى العَينِ عُوّارَها
3. That you may grant Ramah love from us
And tend to Ramah’s secrets
٣. لِتَمنَحَ رامَةَ مِنّا الهَوى
وَتَرعى لِرامَةَ أَسرارَها
4. When we did not visit it, fearing harm
We envied its false visitors
٤. إِذا لَم نَزُرها حِذارَ العِدى
حَسَدنا عَلى الزَورِ زُوّارَها
