يا لائمي وشهابُ وجدي ثاقبٌ

O you who reproach me, while the meteor of my anguish blazes bright,
O you who blame me, my passion's flame is piercing
How can I find solace when the mountain of my patience has sunk?
How can I find solace when my patience lies in ruins

وقف السهادُ بمقلتي مُتوسِّماً

Sleeplessness halted at my eye, searching for signs;
The hunter halted by my eyes that were bloodshot
Then it saw a trace of slumber there and made camp.
And saw in them traces of sorrow, so he lingered
