ألا رب يوم والظبا حول دارها

Ah, many a day, with battle dust about her abode,
Ah, many a day, with sword blades around her dwelling
massing above the warriors’ hands and gleaming,
Arrayed in warriors’ hands and gleaming,
وقفتI stood كأنيas though I were منfrom وراءbehind زجاجةa pane of glass
وقفت كأني من وراء زجاجة
إلىtoward الدارthe dwelling منfrom فرطthe intensity of الصبابةpassionate longing أنظرI gaze
إلى الدار من فرط الصبابة أنظر
I stood as though behind a pane of glass,
I stood as though behind a pane of glass,
gazing toward the abode in the extremity of my passionate longing.
Gazing at the dwelling out of sheer passionate longing.
