1. Show me my beloved's face,
Though I have no beloved.
١. أَروني وَجهَ نِسرينِ
وَأَنّى لي بِنِسرينِ
2. Show me who will cure me
Of my sickness and heal me.
٢. أَروني مَن يُداويني
مِنَ الداءِ وَيَشفيني
3. If you cannot grant
What I hope for, console me,
٣. فَإِن لَم تَملِكوا الأَمرَ الَّ
ذي أَرجو فَمَنوني
4. And banish despair from my heart
However you wish, and cheer me.
٤. وَذُبّوا اليَأسَ عَن قَلبي
بِما شِئتُم وَغُرّوني
5. O my heart's preoccupation with worldly things,
O my heart's preoccupation with religion,
٥. فَيا شُغلي عَنِ الدُنيا
وَيا شُغلي عَنِ الدينِ
6. Is there nothing among all things
That would bring me closer to being joined with you?
٦. أَما شَيءٌ مِنَ الأَشيا
ءِ مِن وَصلِكِ يُدنيني
