And you are the one who humbled my bearing before people,
You who made people incline towards me
And multiplied the sorrows of my terror-stricken heart;
And multiplied the sorrows of my frightened heart

وَعَلَّمتَها لَحظَ المُريبِ المُفَزَّعِ
And gave my eye its fill to drink from its own tears,
And quenched my eyes with their tears
And taught it the glance of one suspicious and terrified.
And taught them the glance of fear and dread

And I had never yielded obedience to love and tears;
I did not give love and tears obedience
So, my eye, from now on do whatever you wish.
So do what you want, my eyes, from now on

And I have found in patience no avenue for intercession
And I did not see in patience any intercession
Through tears with anyone but a beloved—so intercede.
To other than the beloved, so intercede, my tears

Perhaps my gaze and his will meet on the horizon,
May my glance and his glance meet on the horizon
So it may unite us, since on earth there is none to unite us.
And reunite us, for there is no uniter on earth
