فواحسرتي لم أقض منك لبانةً
ولمand not أتمتعI enjoyed بالجوارin living nearby وبالقربand in nearness
ولم أتمتع بالجوار وبالقرب
So alas for me! I have not satisfied my longing for you,
Oh how I regret that I did not enjoy more of your sweetness
Nor have I enjoyed living beside you and being near you.
Nor delight in your company and nearness

May the morning rains water you, doves and ravine alike.
The valleys have quenched you with doves and people
