وصانعٍ للكوافي

وصانعٍ للكوافي

يقولُ للبدرِ سافرْ

يقولُ للبدرِ سافرْ

And a maker of caps

Maker of elegies, he says to the moon:

says to the full moon, “Go on your way!

"Journey between me and you is far;

بيني وبينكَ فرقٌ

بيني وبينكَ فرقٌ

وأنتَ للعينِ داثرْ

وأنتَ للعينِ داثرْ

There is a difference between me and you,

You appear constantly before my eyes,

and you are effaced from sight.”

While distance keeps us separate and apart."
