1. It's as if you didn't sing it, when you didn't meet her
And if you meet her, the heart is content and satisfied

2. So tell me, oh heart, when the beloved departs
To Lubna, and prevents you from what you want to do

3. Will you be patient with the painful separation, and passionate love?
Or are you a man who has lost all shame, and is uncontrollable?

4. So I wouldn't be if my Lubna slept in an embrace
When the sleeping places became empty

5. And how can one sleep, feeling passionate love
A companion of sorrow, in him sadness and pain?

6. So there is no good in life, if Lubna doesn't come to us
And reunite us, the one who brings us together

7. Isn't my Lubna under a roof that protects her
And me, if this benefits me?

8. The ignorant night will clothe us when it's dark
And we see the light of dawn shining

9. She extended a carpet beneath her feet and I
Covered part of it with my feet, nothing prevents me

10. And I rejoice if she is well in the evening, and if
Usual events happen, passions renew in me

11. It's as if you're a unique one who hasn't seen people before her
And time didn't show you who it shows

12. So I used to cry while the beloved was content
With us, and with you all, knowing what separation will do

13. And I shun you like a hated one, yet my love for you
In my liver is painful sorrows

14. Oh my liver, from the intensity of passion and sorrow
Oh my liver, I will return to God

15. And I hasten to show compassion, until it heals me
Fearing the corruption of the house, and reunion brings together

16. And I turn to the land which is behind you
So that one day, I, the returning one, may return to you
