وَطَلَّق عَيني لَذيذُ الكرى
You went far away, so my tears flowed like a river.
And sweet slumber divorced my eye.
فَإِنْso if تَسأَلونيَyou ask me عَنabout قَدرِthe measure of دَمعيmy tears
فَإِنْ تَسأَلونيَ عَن قَدرِ دَمعي
تُحَدِّثكمُwill tell you الأَرضُthe earth عَمّاabout what جَرىflowed
تُحَدِّثكمُ الأَرضُ عَمّا جَرى
So if you ask me about the measure of my tears,
The earth will tell you of what has flowed.
