علىnotwithstanding أنكمthat you آنستمونيyou comforted me بذكركمthrough remembrance of you
على أنكم آنستموني بذكركم
فقدso indeed كدتI almost لاnot أشكوcomplain of زمانَthe time of فراقseparation
فقد كدت لا أشكو زمانَ فراق
Yet you have comforted me through remembrance of you,
Though your memory brings me solace
so I have almost ceased to lament the time of separation.
I almost cannot bear this time apart
وإنيand indeed I لمجنونam truly mad الفؤادat heart بحبِّكمwith love for you
وإني لمجنون الفؤاد بحبِّكم
فهلاَّthen why not ولوeven if only فيfor الحينthe moment دمعيَmy tears راقيone who heals by incantation
فهلاَّ ولو في الحين دمعيَ راقي
And my heart is truly mad with love for you;
For I am madly in love with you
then why does no one charm away my tears, if only for a moment?
If only now my tears would flow
