نَهِيمُ بهم وجداً ونحنُ بقربهمْ

نَهِيمُ بهم وجداً ونحنُ بقربهمْ

فكيف بنا يوماً إذا مَا تَرَحَّلُوا

فكيف بنا يوماً إذا مَا تَرَحَّلُوا

We are mad with longing for them, even while we are near them;

We sympathize with them in deep sorrow while we are close to them,

Then how shall we fare one day when they depart?

So how would we feel one day when they depart?

فلا نافِعي يوماً سلوَّا ولا أَسىً

فلا نافِعي يوماً سلوَّا ولا أَسىً

ولا شَايِعي يوماً بُكا وتَوَلْوُلُ

ولا شَايِعي يوماً بُكا وتَوَلْوُلُ

So neither solace nor sorrow will ever avail me,

No helpers on a day of anguish, no comfort for grief,

Nor will weeping and wailing ever come to my aid.

No mourners on a day of weeping and convulsion.

نَهارِي إذا أصبحتُ بكرٌ وحيرةٌ

نَهارِي إذا أصبحتُ بكرٌ وحيرةٌ

وليلىِ إذا أُمسِى جوىً وتململُ

وليلىِ إذا أُمسِى جوىً وتململُ

My day, when morning comes, is brooding and bewilderment;

My days when dawn breaks are perplexed and confused,

And my night, when evening comes, is heartache and restlessness.

My nights when dusk falls are boiling and restless.

وَمِن أهل دهرِى شامتونَ وعُذَّلُ

وَمِن أهل دهرِى شامتونَ وعُذَّلُ

My lot from those I love is rejection and separation,

My share of loved ones is estrangement and separation,

And from the people of my time, gloaters and reproachers.

And from the people of my time there are gloating and humiliation.

تلألأُ إشراقاً ونوراً كأنها

شموسٌ تجلَّتْ بالضياء المكمَّلِ
