أمسى بخدي للدموع رسوم

أسفا عليك وفي الفؤاد كلوم
By evening, traces of tears mark my cheek,
Tears left their marks upon my cheek
Out of grief for you, and wounds lie in my heart.
I grieve for you, my heart consumed with pain
والصبرand patience يحسنis seemly فيin المواطنcircumstances كلهاall of them
والصبر يحسن في المواطن كلها

إلا عليك فإنه مذموم
And patience is seemly in every circumstance,
Patience in all matters may speak
Except where you are concerned, for then it is blameworthy.
Save longing for you, where it is vain
Sol 6.1
