رَسولي قالَ أَوصَلتُ الكِتابا

رَسولي قالَ أَوصَلتُ الكِتابا

وَلَكِن لَيسَ يُعطونَ الجَوابا

وَلَكِن لَيسَ يُعطونَ الجَوابا

My messenger said, “I delivered the letter,

My messenger said, "I delivered the letter,

My messenger reported: "I have delivered the missive,"

and yet they give no reply.”

But they do not give an answer."

"And yet, they grant no answer in return."

فَقُلتُ أَلَيسَ قَد قَرَأوا كِتابي

فَقُلتُ أَلَيسَ قَد قَرَأوا كِتابي

فَقالَ بَلى فَقُلتُ الآنَ طابا

فَقالَ بَلى فَقُلتُ الآنَ طابا

So I said, “Have they not already read my letter?”

So I said, "Have they not read my letter?"

I asked, "But have they not read my letter?"

He said, “Yes.” So I said, “Now all is well!”

He said, "Yes." Then I said, "Very well."

He said, "Indeed." I replied, "Then all is well."

فَأَرجو أَن يَكونوا هُم جَوابي

فَأَرجو أَن يَكونوا هُم جَوابي

بِلا شَكٍّ إِذا قَرَأوا الكِتابا

بِلا شَكٍّ إِذا قَرَأوا الكِتابا

So I hope that they themselves will be my answer,

So I hope they will be my answer,

For I hope that they, in person, shall be my reply,

without doubt, when they read the letter.

Without doubt, if they read the letter.

Without a doubt, now that they have read the script.

أَجِدُّ لَكَ المُنى يا قَلبُ كَيلا

أَجِدُّ لَكَ المُنى يا قَلبُ كَيلا

تَموتَ عَلَيَّ غَمّاً وَاِكتِئابا

تَموتَ عَلَيَّ غَمّاً وَاِكتِئابا

I renew hopes for you, O heart, lest

I wish for you, O my heart, to stop

I renew these hopes for you, O heart, simply lest

you die on me of grief and despondency.

Dying of grief and depression over me.

You perish within me from grief and melancholy.
