ذكراكِ تبقَى ما بقيتُ

وببعضِ ذلك قد شَقِيتُ

I will remember you as long as I live

And in doing so I have suffered

وكذاك يَقضـي البينُ ما

خطَّ القضاءُ فقل رضِيتُ

And so distance takes its toll as

Fate has ordained, so I accept

أنتِ التي تيَّمتِني

وسِواكِ وجدًا ما صَلِيتُ

You are the one who completes me

And without you I have no solace

يا خلَّة النفس التي

بلهيبِ شِقْوَتِها تبِيتُ

O soul's retreat

Whose fiery anguish keeps me awake

لكأنَّني مُذْ حلَّ بيـ

ـنُكِ؛ للأحبَّةِ قد نُعِيتُ

It's as if since we parted

I've been announced dead to those I love
