ألم تَرَني ندِمتُ على اِرتِحالي

ألم تَرَني ندِمتُ على اِرتِحالي

وغالَطتُ العداة بسوءِ حالي

وغالَطتُ العداة بسوءِ حالي

Have you not seen how I regretted my departure,

Did you not see me regret my departure

Did you not see me regret my departure

Did you not see that I regretted my departure,

and misled my enemies with the misery of my plight?

and mislead my enemies about my wretched state?

And delude my enemies by my ill state

And deceived the foes with my wretched condition?

وما بلدٌ كدَانيةٍ ولكن

وما بلدٌ كدَانيةٍ ولكن

أُسَلِّي النَّفْسَ عنْهَا بالمُحَالِ

أُسَلِّي النَّفْسَ عنْهَا بالمُحَالِ

No city can compare with Dāniya; yet

And no city is like Dāniya, and yet

No home like Dâniyah, but

There is no land like Denia, and yet,

I console my soul for its loss with impossible hopes.

I console my soul for its loss with the impossible.

I comfort my soul from it with impossibilities

I console my soul for her loss with impossible hopes.
