1. Their separation was prolonged
Withered, with no knowledge or resolve
١. طللانِ طالَ عليهما الأمَدُ
دثرا فلا علمٌ ولا نضَدُ
2. Wearing out, as if they had found
After their loved ones, what I endure
٢. لبِسَا البِلَى فكأنّما وَجَدا
بعدَ الأحبّةِ مثلَ ما أجِدُ
3. I greeted two separated lovers
After their loved ones, not what they were accustomed to
٣. حُيِّيتُما طللينِ حالُهما
بعدَ الأحبّةِ غيرَ ما عَهِدوا
4. Whether your companion is a melodious singer
Or your love has no boredom or separation
٤. إما طواكَ سُلُوُّ غانيةٍ
فهواكَ لا مَللٌ ولا فَنَدُ
5. If you are truthful in love, then quench
For me in love the spring I seek
٥. إن كنتِ صادقةَ الهوى فرِدِي
في الحبِ منهليَ الذي أرِدُ
6. My tears flowed while you are safe
Or have I no mind or firewood
٦. أدمي هَرَقتِ وأنتِ آمنةٌ
أم ليسِ لي عقلٌ ولا قَوَدُ
7. If you are a temptress and a cause has betrayed me
Then perhaps the afflicted will not be fortunate
٧. إن كنتِ فُتّ وَخانني سَبَبٌ
فلربّما لم يَحظَ مُجتَهشدُ
8. O best lineage of a generous man
In glory, where throngs bustle
٨. يا خيرَ منتسبٍ لمكرمةٍ
في المجد حيثُ تَبَحبَحَ العَدَدُ
9. In every soft sands for his rest
A groan sweeps, and a witness piles up
٩. في كلّ أنلُةٍ لراحتِهِ
نَوءٌ يَسُحُّ وعارضٌ حَشِدُ
10. And when the slim spears trembled
Clinging, silent at their tips aiming
١٠. واذا القَنَا رَعَفَت أسنّتُه
علَقاً وصُمُّ كعوبِها قِصَدُ
11. As if the light of his brow is the moon
And as if he in assault is a lion
١١. فكأنَّ ضَوءَ جبينهِ قَمَرٌ
وكأنّه في صَولةٍ أسَدُ
12. And as if he is a spirit that leads us
His movements, and as if we are a body
١٢. وكأنَّهُ رَوحٌ تُدَبِّرُنا
حركاتُه وكأنَّنا جَسَد
