لَسْتُ أَنْسى قَلْبي وَقَدْ باتَ نَهْباً

لَسْتُ أَنْسى قَلْبي وَقَدْ باتَ نَهْباً

بَيْنَ بَيْنٍ مُبَرِّحٍ وَصُدودِ

بَيْنَ بَيْنٍ مُبَرِّحٍ وَصُدودِ

I do not forget my heart, which spent the night as prey

I cannot forget my heart though it lies ravaged

between agonizing separation and rejection.

Between the cheers of two faced friends and their rejection

وَسَماءُ العُيونِ إِذْ ذاكَ تَسْقي

وَسَماءُ العُيونِ إِذْ ذاكَ تَسْقي

بِسَحابِ الجُفُونِ رَوْضَ الخُدودِ

بِسَحابِ الجُفُونِ رَوْضَ الخُدودِ

And the sky of the eyes was then watering

And the sky of eyes that once watered

the garden of cheeks with the clouds of eyelids.

With eyelids' clouds the cheeks' garden

لَمْ أَجِدْ مَا بِهِ أَجودُ بِدَمعي

لَمْ أَجِدْ مَا بِهِ أَجودُ بِدَمعي

غَيْرَ رُوحي فَجُدْتُ بِالْمَوْجُودِ

غَيْرَ رُوحي فَجُدْتُ بِالْمَوْجُودِ

I found nothing to offer along with my tears

I found naught to spend my tears on

but my soul, so I gave what I had.

Except my soul, so I spent on the existent
