ضاعَت دُيونُكَ عِندَ الغيدِ أَعناقا

ضاعَت دُيونُكَ عِندَ الغيدِ أَعناقا

وَما قَضَينَكَ لَمّا جِئتَ مُشتاقا

وَما قَضَينَكَ لَمّا جِئتَ مُشتاقا

Your dues were lost among the maidens with graceful necks,

Your debts were lost to Ghayda's hostility,

And they did not repay you when you came yearning.

Yet I did not discharge you when you came desirous.

تَحَمَّلوا وَعُيونُ الحَيِّ ناظِرَةٌ

تَحَمَّلوا وَعُيونُ الحَيِّ ناظِرَةٌ

وَعاقَ طَرفَكَ يَومَ الجِزعِ ما عاقا

وَعاقَ طَرفَكَ يَومَ الجِزعِ ما عاقا

They departed while the tribe’s eyes looked on,

They bore it while the eyes of the living were watching,

And something checked your gaze that day at the valley bend.

But your gaze on the day of anguish did not bear it.
