1. My heart was your companion, though it was displaced
By the injustice of our parting, it remained steadfast
١. أَمُستَصحِباً قَلبي وَكان مَحَلَّهُ
وَإِن كانَ مِن جَورِ الفِراقِ مَحيلا
2. I'm amazed by a homestead whose people remained loyal
Though they journeyed far, their bond stayed unsurpassed
٢. عَجِبتُ لِدارٍ مِن وَفاءٍ بِأَهلِها
أَجَدَّت وَقَد راموا الرَحيلَ رَحيلا
3. When tears of blood streamed from my eyes
I knew my heart had fallen, slain by anguish
٣. إِذا ما جَرى جَفني دَماً بِمَدامِعي
عَلِمتُ بِأَنَّ القَلبَ راحَ قَتيلا
4. For the heart is but a vessel for worries
And the eyes conduits for tears' ceaseless ravage
٤. فَما القَلبُ إِلّا لِلهُمومِ قَرارَةً
وَلا الجَفنُ إِلّا لِلدُموعِ مَسيلا
