دَع جِناناً وَحُبَّها

دَع جِناناً وَحُبَّها

عَنكَ إِن كُنتَ عاقِلا

عَنكَ إِن كُنتَ عاقِلا

Put Jinan and your love for her

Leave her love alone, if you are wise,

Cast aside Jinan and her love,

aside, if you are wise.

Do not remind yourself of death while it is oblivious.

If you are truly among the wise.

لا تُذَكِّر بِنَفسِكَ ال

لا تُذَكِّر بِنَفسِكَ ال

مَوتَ ما دامَ غافِلا

مَوتَ ما دامَ غافِلا

Do not bring yourself to the notice of

If you do not die of love for her this year,

Do not remind Death of your existence,

Death, so long as he remains heedless.

You will not escape death when it comes.

So long as it remains oblivious.

أَنتَ إِن لَم تَمُت بِها ال

أَنتَ إِن لَم تَمُت بِها ال

عامَ لَم تَنجُ قابِلا

عامَ لَم تَنجُ قابِلا

You, if you do not die because of her this

Have mercy on yourself, for she

For if you do not die within this year,

year, will not escape next year.

Who left you was unworthy.

You shall not escape the year to come.

رُحِمَت نَفسُكَ الَّتي

رُحِمَت نَفسُكَ الَّتي

ذَهَبَت عَنكَ باطِلا

ذَهَبَت عَنكَ باطِلا

May mercy be shown to your soul, which

May mercy fall upon your soul,

departed from you in vain.

Which has been lost to you in vain.
