1. I understate what's in you, though it's much
And hold back my tears for you, though they're plentiful
١. أُقَلِّلُ ما بي فيك وهو كثير
وأجُر دمعي فيك وهو غزير
2. If I were to cry some of the tears I have for you
Oceans would overflow, then oceans more
٢. وعندي دموع لو بَكَيتُ ببعضها
لفاضَت بُحورٌ بعدهن بحور
3. The graves of mankind lie under dust, yet for desire
Are men whose hearts beneath their robes are graves
٣. قُبورُ الورى تحت التراب وللهوى
رجال لهم تحت الثياب قبور
4. I will weep for you with eyelids wounded
And hint at you with glances that gesture
٤. سأبكي بأجفان عليك قَريحة
وأرنو بألحاظِ إِليك تُشير
