1. I did not walk in the paths of grief, for I
Am of high spirit, cheap in tear's outpour.
١. لَمْ أَمْشِ في طُرُقِ العَزاءِ لأَنَّني
غَالي السُّلُوِّ رَخِيصُ فَيْضِ الأَدْمُعِ
2. And when I remembered you the day you left
Farewelling, grief stood still within my heart, unbidding farewell.
٢. وإِذا ذكَرْتُكَ يَوْمَ سِرْتَ مُوَدِّعاً
وَقَفَ الأَسى في القَلْبِ غَيْرَ مُوَدِّعِ
3. And I saw your face in my soul's darkness
Appearing, as though we were in one place.
٣. وَرَأَيْتُ شَخْصَكَ في سَوادِ جَوَانِحي
مُتَمَثِّلاً فَكأَنَّنا في مَوْضِعِ
