وَأَنتَ الَّذي ذَلَّلتَ لِلناسِ جانِبي

وَأَكثَرتَ أَحزانَ الفُؤادِ المُرَوَّعِ

You who made people incline towards me

And multiplied the sorrows of my frightened heart

وَأَسقَيتَ عَيني رَيَّها مِن دُموعِها

وَعَلَّمتَها لَحظَ المُريبِ المُفَزَّعِ

And quenched my eyes with their tears

And taught them the glance of fear and dread

وَما كُنتُ أُعطي الحُبَّ وَالدَمعَ طاعَةً

فَما شِئتِ يا عَيني مِنَ الآنِ فَاِصنَعي

I did not give love and tears obedience

So do what you want, my eyes, from now on

وَلَم أَرَ عِندَ الصَبرِ وَجهَ شَفاعَةٍ

إِلى غَيرِ مَعشوقٍ مِنَ الدَمعِ فَاِشفَعي

And I did not see in patience any intercession

To other than the beloved, so intercede, my tears

أَلَستَ تَرى النَجمَ الَّذي هُوَ طالِعٌ

عَلَيكَ فَهَذا لِمُحِبّينَ نافِعُ

Do you not see the star that has risen

Upon you? This benefits lovers

عَسى يَلتَقي في الأُفقِ لَحظي وَلَحظُهُ

فَيَجمَعُنا إِذ لَيسَ في الأَرضِ جامِعُ

May my glance and his glance meet on the horizon

And reunite us, for there is no uniter on earth
