God be with you—how much sorrow you have lodged in my heart!
Oh heart, how much sorrow she left in you
And how many wounds between my ribs are of your making!
And how many words between my ribs are for her
لَحاظُكِyour glances طولَthroughout الدَهرِall time حَربٌwar لِمُهجَتيagainst my soul
لَحاظُكِ طولَ الدَهرِ حَربٌ لِمُهجَتي
أَلاis there no رَحمَةٌmercy تُثنيكthat turns you يَوماone day إِلىtoward سَلميpeace with me
أَلا رَحمَةٌ تُثنيك يَوما إِلى سَلمي
Your glances are forever at war with my soul.
To be close to her is an endless war upon my soul
Is there no mercy to turn you one day toward peace with me?
Will she never show mercy and make peace with me?
Sol 6.1
