ياO حسرتاmy sorrow! فيهconcerning him علىfor سلوةsolace through forgetting
يا حسرتا فيه على سلوة
ليستريحso that it may rest القلبُthe heart منfrom عاذليmy reproacher
ليستريح القلبُ من عاذلي
Alas, for the solace of forgetting him,
Oh how I yearn for the wilds of night
that the heart might rest from my reproacher!
So my heart may find rest from those who blame me
فإنfor indeed عمريmy life بينbetween ذلhumiliation الهوىlove
فإن عمري بين ذل الهوى
وعذلهand his reproach قدindeed ضاعhas been wasted فيin الباطلfutility
وعذله قد ضاع في الباطل
For my life, between love’s humiliation
For my life lost between the humiliation of passion
and his reproach, has been wasted in vain.
And their rebuke has been wasted in vain
Sol 6.1
