سَحَّتْstreamed دُموعِيmy tears فيon الْخُدودِthe cheeks نِيابَةًas a proxy
سَحَّتْ دُموعِي في الْخُدودِ نِيابَةً
عَنْهاfor her وحَنَّand yearned فُؤادِيَmy heart الْمُشْتاقُlonging
عَنْها وحَنَّ فُؤادِيَ الْمُشْتاقُ
My tears streamed down my cheeks by proxy—
My tears streamed down my cheeks as a proxy
for her; and my yearning heart pined.
for her, and my longing heart yearned.
