I just tried to translate the meaning as much as I can. In fact, it is very hard to translate a poem, but I tried to explain the meaning to help our friend who had asked us to help him. I hope that will help. يقولون ليْلى بالْعِــرَاقِ مَريـــضــة ٌ فَمَا لَـكَ لا تَضْــنَى وأنْـتَ صَــديـقُ It is said that Layla is sick in Iraq So, why don't you get sick since you are a friend? سقى الله مرضى بالعراق فإننـي على كل مرضى بالعراق شفيــق May God heal sick people in Iraq I feel pity for all sick people in Iraq فإنْ تَـكُ لَيْــلَى بالْعِـــراقِ مَريــضَة ً فإني فــي بحر الحتـــوف غريــــق If Layla was sick in Iraq I would be drowned in death sea أهِيــــم بأقْطـــارِ البـــلادِ وعَرْضِــهَا ومالي إلى ليلى الغـــداة طريـــق Randomly I go out looking for Layla here and there But I don't find any way to her كأنَّ فُــــؤَادِي فِيــهِ مُــــورٍ بِقــــادِحٍ وفيــه لهيـــب ســـاطـــع وبـــــروق As if my heart had a crack with dusty air And shining flame and lightnings إذا ذَكرَتْها النفْـــس مَـــاتَتْ صَبابَة ً لَها زَفْــــرَة ٌ قَتَّــــــالة ٌ وَشَــــهِيـــقُ When the soul remembers her, it will die with longing Having killing sigh and exhalation
