أَوْدَى بِنا الهجرُ لو ذُقتم مرارتَـهُ

أَوْدَى بِنا الهجرُ لو ذُقتم مرارتَـهُ

عُدتمْ بوصلٍ معَ الإشرقِ يُحيينا

عُدتمْ بوصلٍ معَ الإشرقِ يُحيينا

Separation has brought us ruin; had you tasted its bitterness,

Separation has destroyed us, if you tasted its bitterness

you would have returned with a reunion that revives us with the dawn.

You would return with a reunion that gives us life at dawn
