أَبدى هواهُ ولم يَزَلْ محجوبا

دمعٌ غدا في خدِّهِ مسكوبا
His love, long kept hidden, was revealed
He showed his love, yet remained veiled
by tears that flowed upon his cheek.
Tears streamed down his cheeks
بانَdeparted الحبيبُthe beloved فبانَso departed عنهfrom him صبرُهُhis patience
بانَ الحبيبُ فبانَ عنه صبرُهُ
بعدafter الحبيبِthe beloved وماand did not رأىsee محبوباanyone beloved
بعد الحبيبِ وما رأى محبوبا
The beloved departed, and so his patience left him;
When the beloved appeared, his patience left
after the beloved, he saw no one else to love.
After the beloved left, he saw no other love
سكنَdwelt الجوىlove's anguish والشوقُand longing بينَbetween جَوانحيmy ribs
سكنَ الجوى والشوقُ بينَ جَوانحي
وغَداand became الكرىsleep فيin مقلتيَّmy two eyes غريباa stranger
وغَدا الكرى في مقلتيَّ غريبا
Love's anguish and longing dwelt within my breast,
Yearning settled in my heart
and sleep became a stranger to my eyes.
And anguish became a stranger in my eyes
