يا غزال النقا وظبي المصلى

يا غزال النقا وظبي المصلى

من لقلب بنار حبك يصلى

من لقلب بنار حبك يصلى

O gazelle of the sand dune and antelope of the prayer ground,

O gazelle of elegance and doe of the prayer mat

Who will aid a heart burning in the fire of your love?

Who prays with a heart aflame for your love?

قد تماديت بالقطيعة والهجر

قد تماديت بالقطيعة والهجر

ولم تمنح الميتم وصلا

ولم تمنح الميتم وصلا

Indeed, you have gone too far in estrangement and abandonment,

You've persisted in separation and abandonment

And have not granted the bereft one union.

And not granted the orphaned even a connection

فلو اني اراك وجهاً بوجه

فلو اني اراك وجهاً بوجه

لشرحت الغرام فصلا ففصلا

لشرحت الغرام فصلا ففصلا

So, if I were to see you face to face,

If only I could see you face to face

I would explain passion, chapter by chapter.

I would explain this passion, part by part
