آنس اللَه وحشتي بكتاب

آنس اللَه وحشتي بكتاب

منك وافى وقد أطال فواتي

منك وافى وقد أطال فواتي

God soothed my loneliness with a letter

God relieved my loneliness with a letter

from you that arrived after long eluding me.

From you that arrived though long overdue

فتلافى نفساً تسيل من الوجـ

فتلافى نفساً تسيل من الوجـ

ـد وقلباً يذوبُ بالحسراتِ

ـد وقلباً يذوبُ بالحسراتِ

It rescued a soul dissolving with long-

So my soul was restored that pours from my cheek

ing, and a heart melting with regrets,

And my heart that melts with regrets

وجرى كالحياة في كل جسمي

وجرى كالحياة في كل جسمي

بعدما قرَّبَ الفراقُ وفاتي

بعدما قرَّبَ الفراقُ وفاتي

and flowed like life through all my body,

And life flowed through my body

after separation had brought my death near.

After separation had brought my death near
