نفائسprecious treasures العمرof life بالآمالon hopes أنفقهاI spend them
نفائس العمر بالآمال أنفقها
وبالصبابةand in passionate longing مجانينmadmen الهوىof love فقتهاI surpassed them
وبالصبابة مجانين الهوى فقتها
I spend life's precious treasures on hopes.
I spent the gems of life on hopes,
And in passionate longing I have surpassed the madmen of love.
And wasted youth's springtide on passions vain.
والروحand the soul رامتwished تروحto depart وانقضىand ran out وقتهاits time
والروح رامت تروح وانقضى وقتها
لكنbut لليومuntil today لأجلfor the sake of لقاكmeeting you عوَّقتهاI held it back
لكن لليوم لأجل لقاك عوَّقتها
And the soul wished to depart, and its time had run out.
My soul longed to take flight, time ran out fast,
But to this day, for the sake of meeting you, I have held it back.
Yet for this day's meeting with you, it remained.
