وذات شَجْوٍ أَسالَتْ

وذات شَجْوٍ أَسالَتْ

مَدَامعاً لم تصُنْها

مَدَامعاً لم تصُنْها

And a sorrowful one has let flow

With intense yearning she shed

Tears she did not hold back.

Tears she could not restrain

تبكي بفرْط نحيبٍ

تبكي بفرْط نحيبٍ

ويضحك الدَّوْحُ منها

ويضحك الدَّوْحُ منها

She weeps with excessive sobbing,

She weeps with excessive wailing

And the great trees laugh at her.

While the tears laugh at her
