1. I have joined my sighs in passion with my yearning
And my complaints I utter in my weakness and certainty
١. وَصَلْتُ أَنِيني فِي الهَوى بِحَنِينِي
وَشَكْوايَ مَا أَلْقى بِضَعْفِ يَقَينِي
2. And with long separation I have whitened my eyes
And I have turned the water of tears between my eyelids
٢. وَبَيَّضْتُ بِالْهَجْرِ الطَّويلِ نَوَاظِرِي
وَوَرَّدْتُ مَاءَ الدَّمْعِ بَيْنَ جُفُوني
3. So O reproacher of the crime of tears that have flowed
And have shown all secrets that were hidden
٣. فَيَا مُلْزِمي ذَنْبَ الدُّمُوعِ الَّتي جَرَتْ
فَأَبْدَتْ مِنَ الأَسْرارِ كلَّ مَصُونِ
4. Help me against disciplining my tears, for it
Repents when you are its supporter
٤. أَعِنِّي عَلَى تَأْدِيبِ دَمْعِي فَإِنَّهُ
يَتُوبُ إِذا ما كُنْتَ أَنْتَ مُعِينِي
