من الدموعِ يُباريَ جريهُ المَطرا
My love for you has assigned my eyes an unbroken stream
Your love has kept my eyes continuously weeping,
Of tears whose flow rivals the rain.
My tears competing with the rain in their flow.

When it treats the eyelids gently, it lets them droop;
When sleep gently lowers its eyelids,
It finds my cheeks taut, and so streams down.
It finds tears streaming down my cheeks.

I weep and keep alive an aching, ailing heart,
I weep and keep a grieving heart,
And it would set my innards aflame whenever it sighed.
Which your sighs had set ablaze within me.
فَقدfor indeed نفىbanished الوجدُlove's anguish صبريmy patience عنfrom مواطنهِits dwelling places
فَقد نفى الوجدُ صبري عن مواطنهِ
حتىuntil كأنas though ليسَthere is not مِنيof mine مفصِلٌa joint صَبراthat endured
حتى كأن ليسَ مِني مفصِلٌ صَبرا
For love's anguish has banished my patience from its dwelling places,
This passion has banished my patience from its abode,
Until it seems no joint of mine has endured.
As if I have no joints left in me for patience.
