أجالسُI sit with غادتيmy beloved فيin كلevery يومday
أجالسُ غادتي في كل يوم
وروحيand my soul لمhas not تَنلattained منهاfrom her مُناهاits desires
وروحي لم تَنل منها مُناها
I sit with my beloved every day,
I sit with my beloved every day
yet my soul has not gained from her what it longs for,
Yet my soul finds no rest with her
كباخرةٍlike a steamship تسيرُsails علىupon بحارٍseas
كباخرةٍ تسيرُ على بحارٍ
وطيُّand the depths of فؤادهاits heart تذكوblaze لظاهاits flames
وطيُّ فؤادها تذكو لظاها
like a steamship sailing upon seas,
Like a ship sailing the seas
while its flames blaze deep within its heart.
While the wound in her heart only grows
