قَلبي ذَهَبت لِبعُدكُم راحَتُهُ

قَلبي ذَهَبت لِبعُدكُم راحَتُهُ

ما الصَّبرُ على بِعادكُم عادَتهُ

ما الصَّبرُ على بِعادكُم عادَتهُ

My heart's peace has vanished because you are far away.

My heart has lost all comfort being away from you

Patience in the face of your absence is not its habit.

Patience for your absence does not come naturally

بِنتُم فَرثَى لِمَا بِه شامِتهُ

بِنتُم فَرثَى لِمَا بِه شامِتهُ

لا كانَ فراقُكُم وَلا ساعَتُهُ

لا كانَ فراقُكُم وَلا ساعَتُهُ

You departed, and its ill-wisher pitied its plight.

You left me miserable for all that has befallen me

Would that parting from you had never been, nor its hour!

Neither your departure nor its timing were welcome
