صِحْتُ بِالرَّبْعِ فَلَمْ يَسْتَجِيبُوا
لَيْتَwould that شِعْرِيmy knowledge أيْنَwhere يَمْضِيgoes الْغَرِيبُthe stranger
لَيْتَ شِعْرِي أيْنَ يَمْضِي الْغَرِيبُ
I called out at the dwelling, but they did not answer.
I woke at dawn, but they did not respond
Would that I knew where the stranger goes.
I wish I knew where the stranger goes
وَبِجَنْبِand beside الدَّارِthe house قَبْرٌa grave خَصِيبٌfertile

مِنْهُ يَسْتَسْقِي الْمَكَانُ الْجَديِبُ
And beside the house is a fertile grave.
And by the house a fertile grave
From it the barren ground seeks rain.
From which the barren place drinks
غَابَvanished قَلْبِيmy heart فِيهِin it عِنْدَat الْتِمَاحيmy glance
غَابَ قَلْبِي فِيهِ عِنْدَ الْتِمَاحي
قُلْتُI said هذَاthis الْقَبْرُthe grave فِيهِin it الْحَبِيبُthe beloved
قُلْتُ هذَا الْقَبْرُ فِيهِ الْحَبِيبُ
My heart vanished within it as I looked.
My heart was lost in it during the farewells
I said, "In this grave lies the beloved."
I said this grave contains the beloved
لاَdo not تَسَلْask عَنْabout رَجْعَتِيmy return كَيْفَhow كَانَتْit was
لاَ تَسَلْ عَنْ رَجْعَتِي كَيْفَ كَانَتْ
إِنَّindeed يَوْمَthe day of الْبَيْنِparting يَوْمٌa day عَصِيبُgrievous
إِنَّ يَوْمَ الْبَيْنِ يَوْمٌ عَصِيبُ
Do not ask what my return was like.
Do not ask how my return went
Indeed, the day of parting is a grievous day.
For the day of separation is a difficult day
باقْتِرَابِwith the approach of الْمَوْتِdeath عَلَّلْتُI consoled نَفْسِيmyself
باقْتِرَابِ الْمَوْتِ عَلَّلْتُ نَفْسِي
بَعْدَafter إِلْفِيmy beloved كُلُّall آتٍwhat is to come قَرِيبُnear
بَعْدَ إِلْفِي كُلُّ آتٍ قَرِيبُ
I consoled myself with death's approach:
As death approached I blamed myself
After my beloved, all that is to come is near.
After my familiarity every comer is near
