لماwhen اعتنقناwe embraced لوداعfor the farewell of النوىparting
لما اعتنقنا لوداع النوى
وكدتand I nearly منfrom حرِّthe heat of الجوىlove's anguish أحرقهburn him
وكدت من حرِّ الجوى أحرقه
When we embraced in farewell before parting,
And I nearly burned him with the heat of love's anguish,
رأيتُI saw قلبيmy heart سارَwent قدامهُahead of him
رأيتُ قلبي سارَ قدامهُ
وأدمعيand my tears تجريrun وماand do not تلحقهcatch up with him
وأدمعي تجري وما تلحقه
I saw my heart had gone ahead of him,
While my tears ran, yet could not catch him.
