1. Do you think that after yearning I will despair,
And that my passion for love remains the same?
١. أَتَحسَبُني بَعدَ السُلُوِّ مُتَيَّماً
وَأَنَّ ولوعي بِالغَرامِ ولوعي
2. My tears are shed for them but have not yet poured,
I held my tears back and did not let them rain.
٢. فأَمّا دُموعي فَهيَ مِنهُم وَلَم تَفِض
عَلَيهِم وَلَكِنّي طَرَدتُ دُموعي
3. My sighs have set their memory aflame,
And drove them out from their abode in my chest.
٣. وَأَمّا زَفيري فَهوَ أَحرَقَ ذِكرَهُم
وَأَخرَجَهُم عَن دارِهِم بِضُلوعي
