اللَهُ يَعْلَمُ ما تَرَكْتُ وَدَاعَهُ

اللَهُ يَعْلَمُ ما تَرَكْتُ وَدَاعَهُ

وَلَقَدْ جَزِعْتُ لِفَقْدِهِ وَفِراقِهِ

وَلَقَدْ جَزِعْتُ لِفَقْدِهِ وَفِراقِهِ

God knows I did not forgo bidding him farewell—

Though I was indeed distraught at losing him and parting from him—

إِلا مَخافَةَ أَنْ يُذِيبَ فُؤادَهُ

إِلا مَخافَةَ أَنْ يُذِيبَ فُؤادَهُ

مَا فِي فُؤادِي مِنْهُ عِنْدَ عِناقِهِ

مَا فِي فُؤادِي مِنْهُ عِنْدَ عِناقِهِ

Except for fear that his heart would be melted

By what is in my heart because of him when I embrace him.
