قدindeed جلhas grown grave فيin الحبِّlove أمريmy plight
قد جل في الحبِّ أمري
وضاقَand has grown tight بالوجدِwith longing صدريmy breast
وضاقَ بالوجدِ صدري
My plight in love has indeed grown grave;
My love affair has gotten out of hand
And my breast has tightened with longing.
My heart is weighed down with passion's ache
والصبرُand patience منيon my part وعنهُand away from him
والصبرُ مني وعنهُ
أزادhas increased شَوقيmy longing وضُريand my suffering
أزاد شَوقي وضُري
And my patience away from him
Patience has left me, while desire
Has increased my longing and my suffering.
And torment for him grow day by day

غصنٌ يميلُ ببدرِ
O sand dune, surmounted
O sandhill adorned with a branch
By a branch swaying with a full moon,
That bends under the brilliance of the full moon
لاdo not تجعلنَّever make مواتيmy death
لا تجعلنَّ مواتي

من الهوى طولَ هجري
Do not bring about my death
Do not let my yearning in love
From love by forsaking me so long.
Make this separation any longer
