أرى القلبَ ما بين الغواني موزَّعا

I see the heart divided among beautiful women.
I see the heart scattered among the beauties
And every day, in ardent longing, I meet my death.
And every day in youth comes my demise
ولاand not ثمthere ليfor me وعدa promise منfrom الحبthe beloved منجزfulfilled
ولا ثم لي وعد من الحب منجز
ولاand no فرصةopportunity فيin حبهloving him تتوقعis hoped for
ولا فرصة في حبه تتوقع
Nor is there any promise from the beloved fulfilled for me,
No promise of love has been fulfilled for me
Nor can I hope for a chance to win his love.
Nor can I expect an opportunity in his love
أعللI soothe نفسيmyself بالأمانيwith wishes جهالةًin ignorance
أعلل نفسي بالأماني جهالةً

أرددها في فكرتي وأرجعُ
In ignorance, I soothe myself with wishes;
I console myself with wishes out of ignorance
I repeat them in my thoughts and return to them.
I repeat them in my thoughts and go back
