I heard a conversation, I wish I had attended

سمعت حديثا ليتني لو حضرته

1. I heard a conversation, I wish I had attended
So my eyes would have delighted as my ears did

١. سَمِعتُ حَديثاً لَيتَني لَو حَضَرتُهُ
فَتَسعَدَ عَيني مِثلَما سَعِدَت أُذني

2. With the beautiful mention that was made of me
And the favor upon me though I am undeserving

٢. بِما كانَ مِن ذِكرٍ جَميلٍ ذَكَرتُهُ
وَما كانَ مِن مَنٍّ عَلَيَّ بِلا مَنِّ

3. O you made happy by intimacy alone
Your beloved is longing for you and in sorrow

٣. فَيا أَيُّها المَسرورُ بِالأُنسِ وَحدَهُ
حَبيبُكَ في شَوقٍ إِلَيكَ وَفي حُزنِ

4. So let us reconcile, let no people come between us
Nor informers reach you about me or me about you

٤. فَقُم نَصطَلِح لا يَدخُلِ الناسُ بَينَنا
وَلا يَبلُغِ الواشينَ عَنكَ وَلا عَنّي

5. We both erred in our withdrawal, both at fault
So your avoidance is not good nor mine

٥. كِلانا مُسيءٌ في تَجَنّيهِ غالِطٌ
فَما حَسَنٌ مِنكَ الصُدودُ وَلا مِنّي

6. How did this coldness I see occur
Never occurred in my belief or my thoughts

٦. فَكَيفَ جَرى هَذا الجَفاءُ الَّذي أَرى
وَلَم يَجرِ يَوماً في اِعتِقادي وَلا ظَنّي
