1. My cheeks bear the scars of tears' drops
And my heart, since you left, aches
١. بِخَدّي مِن قَطرِ الدُموعِ نَدوبُ
وَبِالقَلبِ مِنّي مُذ نَأَيتُ وَجيب
2. My soul is in anguish until dusk envelops the courtyard
And a yearning returns, melting my heart
٢. وَلي نَفس حَتّى الدُجى يَصدَعُ الحَشا
وَرَجعُ حَنينٍ لِلفُؤادِ مُذيب
3. I have a witness to my soul's suffering and sickness
Who tells of me that I am depressed
٣. وَلي شاهِدٌ مِن ضَرِّ نَفسي وَسَقمِه
يُخبِرُ عَنّي أَنَّني لَكَئيب
4. As if I've not been devastated by a friend's absence
Nor has anyone vanished from my sight but you, my beloved
٤. كَأَنّي لَم أَفجَع بِفِرقَةِ صاحِب
وَلا غابَ عَن عَيني سِواكَ حَبيب
