أَجَفَوتَني فيمَن جَفاني

أَجَفَوتَني فيمَن جَفاني

وَجَعَلتَ شَأنَكَ غَيرَ شَأني

وَجَعَلتَ شَأنَكَ غَيرَ شَأني

Have you shunned me among those who shunned me,

You forsook me among those who forsook me

and made your concern different from mine?

And made your affair other than my affair

وَلَطالَما أَمَّنتَني

وَلَطالَما أَمَّنتَني

مِمّا أَرى كُلَّ الأَماني

مِمّا أَرى كُلَّ الأَماني

And how often you assured me of safety

And for so long you brought me hope

from what I see, holding out every hope,

Of what I see of all wishes

حَتّى إِذا انقَلَبَ الزَما

حَتّى إِذا انقَلَبَ الزَما

نُ عَلَيَّ صِرتَ مَعَ الزَمانِ

نُ عَلَيَّ صِرتَ مَعَ الزَمانِ

until, when time turned

Until when time turned against me

against me, you sided with time.

You turned with time against me
