أُقِرُّ لَهُ بِالذَنبِ وَالذَنبُ ذَنبُهُ

أُقِرُّ لَهُ بِالذَنبِ وَالذَنبُ ذَنبُهُ

وَيَزعَمُ أَنّي ظالِمٌ فَأَتوبُ

وَيَزعَمُ أَنّي ظالِمٌ فَأَتوبُ

I admit my fault to him, though the fault is his.

I confess to him my sin, yet the sin is his,

And he claims I am unjust, so I repent.

And he claims I'm unjust, so I'll repent.

وَيَقصِدُني بِالهَجرِ عِلماً بِأَنَّهُ

وَيَقصِدُني بِالهَجرِ عِلماً بِأَنَّهُ

إِلَيَّ عَلى ماكانَ مِنهُ حَبيبُ

إِلَيَّ عَلى ماكانَ مِنهُ حَبيبُ

And he deliberately shuns me, knowing that he

He shuns me knowingly, though to me he'll be

Is beloved to me, despite what he has done.

A lover, despite all that came between.

وَمِن كُلِّ دَمعٍ في جُفوني سَحابَةٌ

وَمِن كُلِّ دَمعٍ في جُفوني سَحابَةٌ

وَمِن كُلِّ وَجدٍ في حَشايَ لَهيبُ

وَمِن كُلِّ وَجدٍ في حَشايَ لَهيبُ

And from every tear comes a cloud in my eyelids,

Each teardrop in my eyes forms a cloud,

And from every longing comes a flame in my heart.

Each surge of passion in me is a raging fire.
