تعز بصبرٍ لاوجدك لا ترى

تعز بصبرٍ لاوجدك لا ترى

بشام الحمى أخرى الليالي الغوابر

بشام الحمى أخرى الليالي الغوابر

Console yourself with patience—no, by your grandsire, you will not see

Take solace in patience, though you do not find me, do not see me,

the protected pasture's balsam trees for the rest of your nights.

In the nights of longing, other clouded nights,

كأن فؤادي من تذكره الحمى

كأن فؤادي من تذكره الحمى

وأهل الحمى يهفو به ريش طائر

وأهل الحمى يهفو به ريش طائر

It is as though my heart, from remembering the protected pasture

As if my heart from remembering the longing

and the pasture's people, were carried on a bird's fluttering feathers.

And the people of longing flutter for it the feather of a bird
