كفاكَ إن قال أنهُ دنفُ

به من الوجدِ فوقَ ما تصِفُ

Enough, if he says he is close

With passion greater than you can describe

باللَهِ فاردد فؤادَ مكتئبٍ

ليسَ له من فؤادهِ خَلفُ

For God's sake, bring back the heart of a depressed one

He has no relief for his heart

من ليلهُ ساهرٌ ومقلتُهُ

عبرى عليهِ دموعُها تكفُ

His nights are sleepless, his eyelids

His tears flowing over them

لم يدعِ الشوقُ من تحمله

إلا كما كان يتركُ الأسفُ

Longing has left those who carry it

Just as sorrow would slip away
