ولماand when نأيتمyou went far away لمdid not أزلI cease مترقباًwatching expectantly
ولما نأيتم لم أزل مترقباً
مطالعكمyour appearances فيin غدوةِmorning ومساءِand evening
مطالعكم في غدوةِ ومساءِ
And when you went far away, I kept watching
When you came, I kept watching
For your appearances, morning and evening.
your rising at dawn and dusk
واينand where إذاwhen كانis الفراقseparation معانديmy adversary
واين إذا كان الفراق معاندي
مطالعُappearances ناءٍone far away منfrom مطالِprolongation عناءِsuffering
مطالعُ ناءٍ من مطالِ عناءِ
But how far, when separation is my adversary,
And when parting stood against me
Are a distant one's appearances from prolonged suffering!
a coquettish one's rising was agony's rising
