وَلا يُبدي إِلى ذِكري اِلتِفاتا
My beloved has shunned me; he does not wish to mention me,
Nor does he pay any heed to the mention of me.
وَإِنّيand I indeed أَرتَضيam content with مَوتيmy death لَعلِّيperhaps I
وَإِنّي أَرتَضي مَوتي لَعلِّي
لَدَيهِin his presence إِذاwhen ذُكِرتI am mentioned يَقولُhe says ماتاhe has died
لَدَيهِ إِذا ذُكِرت يَقولُ ماتا
And I would accept my death, in the hope that,
When I am mentioned in his presence, he might say, 'He has died.'
