رَجوتكمو لِأَمر أَرنجيه

رَجوتكمو لِأَمر أَرنجيه

بِهِ فكري تَسامى في اِضطِراب

بِهِ فكري تَسامى في اِضطِراب

I placed my hope in you for a matter I hope to attain;

I implored you for some respite

Over it, my thoughts soared in turmoil.

With it my mind rose above its troubles

فَحلتم عَن قَضي أَمري وَحدتم

فَحلتم عَن قَضي أَمري وَحدتم

فَهَل كَلفتمو شَيب الغراب

فَهَل كَلفتمو شَيب الغراب

But you withdrew from settling my affair and turned aside;

So you relieved me of my affairs and united me

So were you asked to make the raven gray?

Did you thereby task the crow's gray feathers?
