After my loved ones left me sleepless

بعد أحبابي كساني الأرقا

1. After my loved ones left me sleepless
I wonder, will there ever be another meeting?

١. بعد أحبابي كساني الأرقا
يا ترى هل بعده من ملتقى

2. To a lover who spends the night crying bitterly
My patience is mighty, and their absence prolonged

٢. من لصب بات يبكي قاشلا
عز صبري ولهم طول البقا

3. We were neighbors in the neighborhood
When luck shone bright as the full moon

٣. كنت في الحي وكانوا جيرتي
يوم كان الحظ بدرا مشرقا

4. We came together and fell in love
We parted though love did not part

٤. اجتمعنا فارتبطنا بالهوى
وافترقنا والهوى ما افترقا

5. I have a lover, whenever I embrace him
My heart flutters with joyful throbs

٥. لي حبيب كلما عانقته
خفق القلب ابتهاجا خفقا

6. And when I pull a branch toward me
He showers us with rose petals

٦. وإذا جاذبت منه غصنا
نثر الورد علينا ورقا

7. I wish his nearness would distance me
So intensely has the graceful gazelle tormented me

٧. أتمنى قربه يبعدني
شد ما عذبني ظبي النقى

8. At times he comes near, at times he turns away
Such is this world, bliss and agony

٨. تارة يدنو وطورا ينثني
هكذا الدنيا نعيم وشقا
