حَتّامَHow long? لاnot أَنفَكُّI cease to be ذاpossessed of لَوعَةٍburning anguish
حَتّامَ لا أَنفَكُّ ذا لَوعَةٍ
وَعَولَةٍand wailing مِنfrom رَوعَةِthe terror of البَينِparting
وَعَولَةٍ مِن رَوعَةِ البَينِ
How long shall I remain in burning anguish
I have attempted my best to translate and preserve the poem while outputting only the translation:
and wailing from the terror of parting?
So long as sorrow and anguish from parting persist
خالَطَmingled with دَمعيmy tears بِجُفونيupon my eyelids دَماًblood
خالَطَ دَمعي بِجُفوني دَماً
فَهيَso they (my eyelids) تَسُحُّpour forth الدَمعَtears لَونَينِin two colors
فَهيَ تَسُحُّ الدَمعَ لَونَينِ
My tears mingled with blood upon my eyelids,
My tears mixed with blood will stream from my eyes
so they pour forth tears in two colors.
How can the eye find peace when deprived
كَيفَhow تَقَرُّfinds rest العَينُthe eye يَوماًever وَقَدwhen already
كَيفَ تَقَرُّ العَينُ يَوماً وَقَد
بِنتُمyou have departed وَأَنتُمwhile you are قُرَّةُthe delight of العَينِthe eye
بِنتُم وَأَنتُم قُرَّةُ العَينِ
How can the eye ever find rest, when
Of you, the delight and joy of my eyes
you have departed, though you are the delight of the eye?
