A heart shattered as passion willed,
My heart surrendered to passion's will
And an eye's lids filled with crimson blood;
And eyelids brimmed with tears that spill
ويومٌand a day كماjust as راعَfrightened الطريدةَthe quarry نافرٌfleeing
ويومٌ كما راعَ الطريدةَ نافرٌ

وهمٌّ كما لذَّ الغرامُ ضجيعُ
And a day that flees like startled quarry,
A day that shunned, like a hunted deer
And sorrow my bedfellow as passion grows sweet.
And yearning that love's pleasure could not still
ومنand who ليfor me بكتمانِwith concealing الهوىlove ومدامعيand my tears
ومن لي بكتمانِ الهوى ومدامعي

تَنُمُّ وأنفاسي الحرارُ تشيعُ
And who can help me conceal my love, while my tears
Who will help conceal my love while tears
betray it, and my burning breaths make it known?
Stream down my cheeks in fervent rills
أبِيتُI spend the night وبيand within me منfrom لاعجِthe burning heat of الشوقlonging فيin الحشَاthe breast
أبِيتُ وبي من لاعجِ الشوق في الحشَا

مصيفٌ ومن ماءِ الشؤونِ ربيعُ
I pass the night: from longing's blaze within my breast comes
All night I lay consumed with thoughts of her
summer, and from the waters of my tear ducts, spring.
While spring rains swell the land and fill
ومنand of عَجَبٍwonder أنّيthat I رجوتُhoped for سلامتيmy safety
ومن عَجَبٍ أنّي رجوتُ سلامتي
علىagainst منone who لهُhe has أينَwherever الْتَفَتُّI turned صريعُa fallen victim
على من لهُ أينَ الْتَفَتُّ صريعُ
And it is a wonder that I hoped for safety
Small wonder I hoped for peace of mind
from one who has a fallen victim wherever I turn.
From her, whose glance brings death so chill
