أحاولُI attempt صبراًpatience عنaway from هوًىlove قدalready ألفتهI have grown accustomed to it
أحاولُ صبراً عن هوًى قد ألفته
ولاand not أجدُI find الصبرَthe patience المحاولَsought يعذُبis sweet
ولا أجدُ الصبرَ المحاولَ يعذُب
I seek patience to resist a love I have grown accustomed to,
I try to be patient from a desire I have become accustomed to
nor do I find the patience I seek sweet.
And I do not find patience that I try torturous
وألقيand I cast بهover it ثوبَthe robe of المشيبgray hair مطبقاًcovering completely
وألقي به ثوبَ المشيب مطبقاً
فأغسلهthen I wash it بالدمعِwith tears والطبعُand nature أغلبstronger
فأغسله بالدمعِ والطبعُ أغلب
And I cast over it the robe of gray hair, covering it completely,
And I cast on it a cloak of old age enclosing
then wash it with tears, yet nature is stronger.
So I wash it with tears while my nature prevails
