الا من لقلب لا يبل غليله

الا من لقلب لا يبل غليله

وناظر عين لا تجف دموعه

وناظر عين لا تجف دموعه

Ah, who will aid a heart whose burning thirst is never quenched,

O one whose heart bears not its sorrows,

And an eye whose tears never dry?

Whose eyes shed not their tears,

خليلي هلا تسعدان متيماً

خليلي هلا تسعدان متيماً

يرى كل يوم في النوى ما يروعه

يرى كل يوم في النوى ما يروعه

My two friends, will you not comfort one enslaved by love,

My friends, will you not make happy

Who sees each day, in separation, what terrifies him?

One who sees in his purpose every day that which terrifies him,

نأت دار احبابي وشط مزارها

نأت دار احبابي وشط مزارها

فبان عن الجفن القريح هجوعه

فبان عن الجفن القريح هجوعه

My loved ones' home has grown distant, and far is the journey to it;

I came to the house of my loved ones and the place of their burial,

So the wounded eyelid has lost its slumber.

So the eyelids poured down their flowing tears,

وحاولت صبراً كان في الخطب جنتي

وحاولت صبراً كان في الخطب جنتي

فقالت لي الأيام لا تستطيعه

فقالت لي الأيام لا تستطيعه

And I sought patience, which had been my shield in calamity;

And I tried patience though it was my armour in calamities,

But the days said to me, 'You cannot muster it.'

But the days said to me you cannot endure it,

فهل ما مضى من عيشنا بطويلع

فهل ما مضى من عيشنا بطويلع

برغم الليالي مستطاع رجوعه

برغم الليالي مستطاع رجوعه

So can the life we once lived at Ṭuwayliʿ

So is it possible that our life that has passed in its length

Be brought back, despite the nights?

Despite the nights can be returned?
