آنَستُ نَفسي بِالتَوَح

حُدِ لا أُريدُ بِهِ بَديلا

I find solace in endless wandering,

I have found solace in my solitude,

Not wanting any alternative to its boundlessness.

Desiring no exchange or substitute.

موفٍ عَلى شَرَفِ المَنِي

يَةِ مُضمِرٌ حَزَناً دَخيلا

Though hidden sorrow dwells in the heights of purpose,

Standing upon the very brink of death,

The determination to attain has lasting dwelling places within me.

Nursing a grief that lives within the breath.

لَكِنَّ وارِدَةَ الحِما

مِ مَوائِلاً عِندي مُثولا

Oh neighbor who has departed from me,

And yet, the destined drafts of final fate

Elevating herself through grace and stature.

Appear to me as sanctuaries wait.

يا جيرَةً ذَهَبَت عَلَي

يَ عَلَوا بِها عَرضاً وَطولا

My beloved remains inaccessible,

O neighbors who have vanished from my sight,

And I have no path to visit him.

Traversing lands in width and endless height,

أَمسى الحَبيبُ وَلا أُطي

قُ إِلى زِيارَتِهِ سَبيلا

The eyes stand watch

My love is lost; I have no strength to bear,

To reap from me words and tales.

Nor find a path to seek a meeting there.

أَلقَت مُراقَبَةَ العُيو

نِ لِتَجتَني قالاً وَقيلا

If this continues, life remains,

She cast aside the watch of prying eyes,

But little of me will remain for it.

To harvest only gossip and the lies.

إِن دامَ ذا كانَ البَقا

ءُ وَلا بَقيتُ لَهُ قَليلا

If this persists, my life will surely cease,

Nor shall I linger for a moment's peace.
