مضت لي شهورٌ منذ غبتم ثلاثةٌ

وما خلتني أبقى اذا غبتم شهرا
Three months have passed for me since you went away.
Three months have passed since you've been away
And I had not thought I would survive a month if you were gone.
And not a month goes by without longing
وماليand I have no حياةٌlife بعدكمafter you أستلذهاI savor it
ومالي حياةٌ بعدكم أستلذها

ولو كان هذا لم أكن في الهوى حرا
And after you, I have no life that I can savor.
I have no life without you that brings joy
And if I did, I would not be noble in love.
If this were not so, my passion would not burn

Nor has prolonged separation consoled me for your absence.
Separation makes the heart grow fonder for you
Rather, it has increased my yearning and renewed my remembrance.
Increasing fervor and renewing memories

يمثلكم لي طولُ شوقي إليكم
ويدنيكمُand draws you near حتىuntil أناجيكمُI whisper to you سراsecretly
ويدنيكمُ حتى أناجيكمُ سرا
My enduring longing for you brings your image before me,
My yearning conjures you before my eyes
And draws you near, until I whisper to you in secret.
Drawing you near, so I may whisper to you secretly
