أَمَا وَرَبِّ العَادِيَاتِ ضَبحَا

أَمَا وَرَبِّ العَادِيَاتِ ضَبحَا

حَقّاً وَرَبِّ المُورِياتِ قَدحَا

حَقّاً وَرَبِّ المُورِياتِ قَدحَا

Lo, by the Lord of the panting steeds,

By the Lord of the running horses at daybreak,

Truly, by the Lord of those that strike sparks,

panting, and by the lord of the striking fire by night,

إنَّ المُغِيراتِ عَلَيَّ صُبحا

إنَّ المُغِيراتِ عَلَيَّ صُبحا

والنَّاكِئَاتِ مِن فُؤَادي قَرحَا

والنَّاكِئَاتِ مِن فُؤَادي قَرحَا

Indeed, those that raid me at dawn,

surely these changers upon me at dawn

And those that reopen a wound in my heart,

and those waking me from my heart have wounded,

عَشرُ لَيَالٍ بَينَهُنَّ صَبحَا

عَشرُ لَيَالٍ بَينَهُنَّ صَبحَا

يَجلُفنَ مالي كُلَّ عَامٍ صَبحَا

يَجلُفنَ مالي كُلَّ عَامٍ صَبحَا

Are ten nights, with a morning among them;

ten nights between them passed at dawn,

They strip away my wealth each year at dawn.

despoiling my wealth each year at dawn
