Sol 6.1

  1. سافرتُ إذ سار الحبيبُ مُهاجراً

    في أَبحُرٍ امواجها من ادمعُي

    I journeyed when my beloved set out as an emigrant,

    On seas whose waves were made of my tears,

  2. بسفينةٍ قاد البُخارُ عنانَها

    لكنَّهُ زَفَرَات موقدِ اضلعي

    Aboard a ship whose reins were guided by steam,

    But it was sighs from the furnace of my ribs.

  3. نشروا وقد سكن الهواءُ شراعها

    فجرَت بأنفاسي ونَفح تضرُّعي

    They unfurled its sail though the wind had grown still,

    So it sailed on my breaths and the breeze of my pleading.

  4. لم يأخذ الربّانُ اجرةَ حملهِ

    أوَ لم يكن في ناظريَّ ومسمعي

    The captain took no fare for carrying him;

    And was he not within my eyes and my hearing?

  5. ولطالما سالتُ بين الرَكبِ عن

    قلبي ولم افطن بان قلبي معي

    And how often, among the travelers, I asked about

    My heart, not realizing that my heart was with me.
