ولقد عملت حساب صبري بعدكم

ولقد عملت حساب صبري بعدكم

ونظمته في هذه الأوراق

ونظمته في هذه الأوراق

And indeed, I worked out the account of my patience after you left,

I have calculated my patience since you left

And set it out on these pages.

And composed it on these pages

وأقمت صبري حاصلاً وأضفت ما

وأقمت صبري حاصلاً وأضفت ما

وجبت إضافته على العشاق

وجبت إضافته على العشاق

And I entered my patience as the total, and added what

I made my patience a sum and added what

Lovers were obliged to add.

Was necessary to add for lovers

وخصمت بالمصروف حتى وفره

وخصمت بالمصروف حتى وفره

وحياتكم ما انساق عندي باقي

وحياتكم ما انساق عندي باقي

And I deducted even its surplus as expenditure;

And deducted what was spent until the remainder

And by your life, no balance remained for me.

While my life with you remains, unforgotten
