أَيوحِشُني الزَمانُ وَأَنتَ أُنسي

أَيوحِشُني الزَمانُ وَأَنتَ أُنسي

وَيُظلِمُ لي النَهارُ وَأَنتَ شَمسي

وَيُظلِمُ لي النَهارُ وَأَنتَ شَمسي

Does time make me lonely when you are my solace?

Time estranges me while you are my companion,

And does the day grow dark for me when you are my sun?

The day darkens for me while you are my sun,

وَأَغرِسُ في مَحَبَّتِكَ الأَماني

وَأَغرِسُ في مَحَبَّتِكَ الأَماني

فَأَجني المَوتَ مِن ثَمَراتِ غَرسي

فَأَجني المَوتَ مِن ثَمَراتِ غَرسي

And I plant hopes in my love for you,

And I plant hopes in your love,

Only to reap death from the fruits of my planting.

So I reap death from the fruits of my planting.

لَقَد جازَيتَ غَدراً عَن وَفائي

لَقَد جازَيتَ غَدراً عَن وَفائي

وَبِعتَ مَوَدَّتي ظُلماً بِبَخسِ

وَبِعتَ مَوَدَّتي ظُلماً بِبَخسِ

You have indeed repaid my loyalty with treachery,

You have rewarded loyalty with betrayal,

And unjustly sold my affection for a paltry price.

And sold my affection unjustly for less.

وَلَو أَنَّ الزَمانَ أَطاعَ حُكمي

وَلَو أَنَّ الزَمانَ أَطاعَ حُكمي

فَدَيتُكَ مِن مَكارِهِهِ بِنَفسي

فَدَيتُكَ مِن مَكارِهِهِ بِنَفسي

And if time had obeyed my command,

If time obeyed my rule,

I would have ransomed you from its hardships with my own life.

I would ransom you from its harms with my soul.
