عجبتُ من دَمعتي وعَيني

عجبتُ من دَمعتي وعَيني

من قبلِ بَينٍ وبعد بَيْنِ

من قبلِ بَينٍ وبعد بَيْنِ

I marveled at my tear and my eye,

I wondered at my tear and my eye

Before parting and after parting:

Before separation and after separation

قد كانَ عَيني بغَيرِ دمعٍ

قد كانَ عَيني بغَيرِ دمعٍ

فصارَ دَمعي بغَير عَيْنِ

فصارَ دَمعي بغَير عَيْنِ

My eye had been without tears;

My eye had been without tears

Then my tears came to be without an eye.

Yet my tear is now without an eye
