فؤادِي بهِ مُوجعُ

وعيني لهُ تدمعُ

My heart aches for him

And my eyes weep for him

وقلبي بوجدٍ بهِ

على هَجرهِ مُولعُ

And my heart is consumed with passion for him

For his abandonment afflicts me

وقد جُدتُ من ودِّهِ

له بالذي يمنَعُ

And though I exert myself for his love

He denies me what I desire

على أنني اشتكي

هِ ما بي ولا يسمَعُ

Yet still I complain to him

Of my suffering, though he does not hear
