Oh woe to her who lost a dear one, unseen,

يا ويح فاقدة عزيزا لا يرى

1. Oh woe to her who lost a dear one, unseen,
Whose memory fills the horizons and wilderness,

١. يَا وَيْحَ فَاقِدَةٍ عَزِيزاً لاَ يَرَى
سَالِيهِ بَيْنَ أَبَاعِدٍ وَأَقَارِبِ

2. True to his spouse, a secret to his child, and most generous friend,
Since we parted, I’ve barely maintained my melting heart,

٢. مِلءُ الخَوَاطِرِ والبَوَادِي ذكْرُهُ
وَسَنَاهُ بَيْنَ مَشَارِقٍ وَمَغَارِبِ

3. However long the estrangement, passion stays true, no deceit,
They claim you left, that they hid you from my sight, but you aren’t gone,

٣. أَوْفَي الْبُعُوْلَةِ لِلْحَلِيلَةِ ذِمَّةٌ
وَأَسَرُّ ذِي وُلْدٍ وَأَكْرَمُ صَاحِبِ

4. They gave the earth a phantom, while your true self stays by my side,
The full moon in my heart that pales my gaunt face with its glow.

٤. يَا مَنْ وَقَفْتُ عَلَيْهِ مُنْذُ فِرَاقِهِ
رَمَقاً تَمَاسَكَ فِي فُؤَادٍ ذَائِبِ

٥. مَهْمَا يَطُلْ زَمَنُ التَّنَائِي فَالْهَوَى
كَالْعَهْدِ مُصْدُوقٌ وَلَيْسَ بِكاذِبِ

٦. زَعَمُوكَ غِبْتَ بِأَنَّهمْ وَارُوكَ عَنْ
نَظَرِي وَلاَ وَهَوَاكَ لَيْسَ بِغَائِبِ

٧. مَنَحُوا الثَّرَى وَهْماً كَشَخْصِكَ إِنَّمَا
شَخْصُ الْحَقِيقَةِ ظَلَّ بَيْنَ بَرَاشِ

٨. فِي قَلْبِيَ الْبَدْرُ الَّذِي لَنْ يُجْتَلَى
مِنْهُ سِوَى شَفَقٌ بِوَجِهِي شَاحِبِ
