1. There is no cure for my ills except seeing her,
The cure I need is precious, yet unattainable.
١. ما إِن لِما بِي دَواءٌ غَيرُ رُؤيَتِها
دَواءُ ما بِي عَزيزٌ غَيرُ مَوجودِ
2. Oh my heart's preoccupation, distracting me from life's joys,
Why do you command me to endure such agony?
٢. يا شُغلَ نَفسي عَنِ الدُنيا وَبَهجَتِها
ما تَأمُرينَ بِصَبِّ القَلبِ مَعمودِ
3. It's as if the day your messenger arrives,
He will have gained the kingdom of Solomon, son of David.
٣. كَأَنَّهُ يَومَ يَأَتيهِ رَسولُكُمُ
قَد نالَ مُلكَ سُلَيمانَ بنِ داوُدِ
