وقِفْ فليسَ بعارٍ وَقفةُ العيرِ

O guide of the camels, be gentle with the vessels

And halt, for the caravan’s stopping is no disgrace.

Stop, for halting the camels is no disgrace

واحلُبْ مآقِيَ عَيْنٍ طالما قَصَرَتْ

واحلُبْ مآقِيَ عَيْنٍ طالما قَصَرَتْ

حُمْرَ الدُّموعِ على البيضِ المَقاصيرِ

حُمْرَ الدُّموعِ على البيضِ المَقاصيرِ

And pity the sorrows of eyes that have long shed

The red tears down the white cheeks in streams
