O departing one, whom beautiful patience follows,
Might there be some way to meet you?
ماnot أنصَفَتْكَhave done you justice جُفونيmy eyelids وهيَthough they are دامِيَةٌbleeding
ما أنصَفَتْكَ جُفوني وهيَ دامِيَةٌ
ولاnor وَفىhas been true لكَto you قلبيmy heart وهوthough it يحترِقُburns
ولا وَفى لكَ قلبي وهو يحترِقُ
My eyelids have not done you justice, though they bleed,
Nor has my heart been true to you, though it burns.
