جد الضنا ويد الأشواق تلعب بي

وذبت من شدة الأحزان والكرب
My wasting sickness grew grave, while the hand of longings toys with me.
Wasting sickness grew severe, and the hand of longing toys with me.
I melted from the intensity of sorrows and anguish.
And I melted from the intensity of sorrows and anguish.
وغبتand I was absent عنيfrom myself منfrom الأوصابailments والألمand pain
وغبت عني من الأوصاب والألم
وعنand from تذكرremembering منthe one whom أهواهI love him لمdid not أغبI am absent
وعن تذكر من أهواه لم أغب
I was absent from myself through afflictions and pain;
And I was absent from myself through ailments and pain.
Yet from remembering the one I love, I was never absent.
Yet I was not absent from remembering the one I love.
