ذَابَ قَلْبِي مِنَ الصُّدُودِ وَلَوْلاَ

مَا أُرَجِّي مِنَ الْوِصَالِ قَضَيْتُ

My heart is melting from the estrangement, and if not

My heart has melted from rejection, and were it not

For my hope of reunion, I would have perished

For what I hope of our union, I would have perished.

لَيْتَ شِعْرِي وَهَلْ يَرِقُّ لِحَالِي

مَنْ هَوِيْتُ فَإِنَّنِي قَدْ هَوَيْتُ

I wish I knew: does my state affect

Would that I knew: will they ever soften to my state,

The one I love? For I have loved

The one I love? For indeed, I have fallen.
