أبكيك ولو بقدر شوقي أبكي

أبكيك ولو بقدر شوقي أبكي

أوردت محاجري حياضَ الهُلكِ

أوردت محاجري حياضَ الهُلكِ

I weep for you; were I to weep in proportion to my longing,

I cry for you, as much as my yearning cries

I would bring my eye sockets to the pools of destruction.

My eyelids have watered the meadows of perdition

لو قال لي الغرام ممَّن تشكو

لو قال لي الغرام ممَّن تشكو

بأساً وأساً لقلت منكي منكي

بأساً وأساً لقلت منكي منكي

Were love to ask me, 'Of whom do you complain

If love had asked me, of whom do you complain

in distress and sorrow?' I would say, 'Of you, of you.'

Such woe, such woe, I'd say, from you, from you
