1. أَنّى أُضَيِّعُ عَهدَك

    أَم كَيفَ أُخلِفُ وَعدَك

    How could I forsake my pledge to you,

    or how could I break my promise to you,

  2. وَقَد رَأَتكَ الأَماني

    رِضىً فَلَم تَتَعَدَّك

    when my hopes have found in you

    contentment, and have not gone beyond you?

  3. يا لَيتَ ما لَكَ عِندي

    مِنَ الهَوى لِيَ عِندَك

    Ah, if only what I hold for you

    of love were what you held for me!

  4. فَطالَ لَيلُكَ بَعدي

    كَطولِ لَيلِيَ بَعدَك

    Then your night without me would grow long,

    as long as my night without you.

  5. سَلني حَياتي أَهَبها

    فَلَستُ أَملِكُ رَدَّك

    Ask me for my life; I shall give it,

    for I cannot refuse you.

  6. الدَهرُ عَبدِيَ لَمّا

    أَصبَحتُ في الحُبِّ عَبدَك

    Time is my slave, now that

    I have become your slave in love.
