يَا رَاحِلاً غَابَ صَبْرِي بَعْدَ فُرْقَتِهِ
وَأَصْبَحَتْand became أَسْهُمُthe arrows الأَشْوَاقِlonging تُصْمِينِيslay me
وَأَصْبَحَتْ أَسْهُمُ الأَشْوَاقِ تُصْمِينِي
O departed one, after whose parting my patience vanished,
O you who departed, my patience faded after your leave
And the arrows of longing now slay me.
And the arrows of longing besiege me
إِنْif كَانَis يُرْضِيكَpleases you مَاwhat أَلْقَاهُI endure it مِنْof كَمَدٍanguish
إِنْ كَانَ يُرْضِيكَ مَا أَلْقَاهُ مِنْ كَمَدٍ

فِي الْحُبِّ مُذْ غِبْتَ عَنِّي فَهْوَ يُرْضِينِي
If you are pleased by the anguish I endure
If what I endured of sadness since you've been away pleases you
In love since you left me, then it pleases me.
Then it equally appeases me
لَمْdid not أَلْقَI encounter بَعْدَكَafter you يَوْماًa day أَسْتَبِينُI discern بِهِin it
لَمْ أَلْقَ بَعْدَكَ يَوْماً أَسْتَبِينُ بِهِ

وَجْهَ الْمَسَرَّةِ إِلَّا ظَلَّ يُبْكِينِي
Since you left, I have found no day on which I discerned
Since you left, I have not seen a single day
The face of joy without that day keeping me in tears.
Where joy did not make me weep
قَدْindeed كُنْتُI was لاnot أَكْتَفِيI am content بِالشَّمْلِwith reunion مُجْتَمِعَاًunited
قَدْ كُنْتُ لا أَكْتَفِي بِالشَّمْلِ مُجْتَمِعَاً
فَالْيَوْمَyet today نَظْرَةُa glance عَيْنٍan eye مِنْكَfrom you تَكْفِينِيis enough for me
فَالْيَوْمَ نَظْرَةُ عَيْنٍ مِنْكَ تَكْفِينِي
I was once not content with our being together;
I was never satisfied by being together
Yet today a glance from your eye is enough for me.
Now a mere gaze from you would suffice me
