لا تعجبوا من بقائي بعد فرقتهم

لا تعجبوا من بقائي بعد فرقتهم

حيا على كلفي فيهم وتهيامي

حيا على كلفي فيهم وتهيامي

Do not marvel at my survival after parting from them,

Do not be surprised at my survival after their departure

Alive despite my ardent love for them and my lovesick longing.

Alive with my grief and yearning for them

فأنهم قد سقوني من مراشفهم

فأنهم قد سقوني من مراشفهم

ماء الحياة فطالت منه أيامي

ماء الحياة فطالت منه أيامي

For they have given me to drink from their lips

For they gave me from their parting cups

The water of life, and through it my days have grown longer.

The water of life, so my days were prolonged
