فيهِ أَقمتُ فَإِنّني لَم أجزعِ
And though you went east from the west,
Though I depart for some far eastern land
where I dwelt, I did not lose heart.
Or settle in the west, I shall not grieve,
أَبداًever مِثالكَyour image لاdoes not يُفارِقُleave مُقلَتيmy eye
أَبداً مِثالكَ لا يُفارِقُ مُقلَتي
وَلَذيذُand the sweetness لَفظِكَyour speech قاطِنٌdwelling فيin مَسمَعيmy ear
وَلَذيذُ لَفظِكَ قاطِنٌ في مَسمَعي
Your image never leaves my eye,
For visions of your likeness will attend
and the sweetness of your speech dwells in my ear.
My heart, and sweet words echo in my ears,
وَحَميدُand praiseworthy ذِكرِكَmention of you فيon لِسانيmy tongue دائِماًalways
وَحَميدُ ذِكرِكَ في لِساني دائِماً

وَلَقَد حَللتَ بِمُهجَتي وَبِأَضلُعي
And praise of you is always on my tongue,
While praise of you falls duly from my tongue,
and you have indeed made your home in my heart and within my ribs.
And you are with me through my bones and in my breast.
أَينwhere الفراقُparting وَهَذِهِand these حالاتناour circumstances
أَين الفراقُ وَهَذِهِ حالاتنا
هَلis there مِنany مَكانٍplace لاnot تَكونُyou are بِهِin it مَعيwith me
هَل مِن مَكانٍ لا تَكونُ بِهِ مَعي
Where is parting, when this is how we are?
What separation can there be for us?
Is there any place where you are not with me?
For you are with me here, where’er I go.
