لي مهجة زاد فيك خفوق واجبها

لي مهجة زاد فيك خفوق واجبها

ولو قضت ما قضت يهواك واجبها

ولو قضت ما قضت يهواك واجبها

I have a soul whose beating heart throbs ever harder for you.

I have a heart whose pounding for you has increased,

Even if it died, it would not have fulfilled its duty—it loves you.

And even if fate dealt it blows, loving you would still be its duty,

يا من عن النوم عين الصبّ حاجبها

يا من عن النوم عين الصبّ حاجبها

روحي فدا عينك الوسنا وحاجبها

روحي فدا عينك الوسنا وحاجبها

O you who keep the lovesick one's eye from sleep,

O you for whom the eye of morning remains sleepless,

My soul be a ransom for your drowsy eye and its brow.

My soul is sacrificed for your beautiful eyes and eyebrows.
