ماno عَلىupon مَنْone who بكَىwept لِبُعْدٍover separation مَلامُblame
ما عَلى مَنْ بكَى لِبُعْدٍ مَلامُ
حَكَمَتْdecreed لوعةٌanguish بِذاthus وهُيامُand love-madness
حَكَمَتْ لوعةٌ بِذا وهُيامُ
No blame falls on one who weeps over separation.
No blame lies on one who weeps from longing's pain
Anguish and love-madness have decreed this.
When anguish rules o’er him and burning sighs remain
كَيْفَhow يُلحَىis blamed عَلىfor البُكاءweeping مُعَنّىًone tormented
كَيْفَ يُلحَى عَلى البُكاء مُعَنّىً
نَهَكَwore down الوَجْدُlonging جِسْمَهُhis body والسَّقامُand sickness
نَهَكَ الوَجْدُ جِسْمَهُ والسَّقامُ
How can one in torment be blamed for weeping,
How harsh to chide him that he ever wept
when longing and sickness have worn his body down?
Wasting and weary plague his body and its frame

Ah, the calamity of separation! If only I had not
Ah! By the torment of desire would I had ne'er
known what love, passion, and bonds of loyalty are.
Known what is love and longing and its bitter claim

O you who reproach me for passion! And who can give me
O my reproachers that I am enslaved by love
a heart, so that passion might exist?
With a heart that is consumed by passion's flame

Longing and the heart have both departed;
Grief and my heart have gone and passed away
so farewell to longing and the heart.
So farewell to my heart and to my grief the same
