1. مِنكَ يا هاجِرُ دائي

    وَبِكَفَّيكَ دَوائي

    From you, O forsaker, comes my ailment,

    and in your two hands lies my cure.

  2. يا مُنى روحي وَدُنيا

    يَ وَسُؤلي وَرَجائي

    O my soul's longing and my world,

    and my wish and my hope!

  3. أَنتَ إِن شِئتَ نَعيمي

    وَإِذا شِئتَ شَقائي

    You are, if you wish, my bliss,

    and, if you wish, my misery.

  4. لَيسَ مِن عُمرِيَ يَومٌ

    لا تَرى فيهِ لِقائي

    There is no day of my life

    on which you do not see me.

  5. وَحَياتي في التَداني

    وَمَماتي في التَنائي

    And my life lies in closeness,

    and my death in being far apart.

  6. نَم عَلى نِسيانِ سُهدي

    فيكَ وَاِضحَك مِن بُكائي

    Sleep, oblivious to my sleeplessness

    over you, and laugh at my weeping.

  7. كُلُّ ما تَرضاهُ يا مَو

    لايَ يَرضاهُ وَلائي

    All that pleases you, O my

    lord, pleases my devotion.

  8. وَكَما تَعلَمُ حُبّي

    وَكَما تَدري وَفائي

    And as you know my love,

    and as you know my faithfulness

  9. فيكَ يا راحَةَ روحي

    طالَ بِالواشي عَنائي

    to you, O comfort of my soul,

    my suffering through the talebearer has grown long.

  10. وَتَوارَيتُ بِدَمعي

    عَن عُيونِ الرُقَباءِ

    And I hid myself behind my tears

    from the eyes of the watchers.

  11. أَنا أَهواكَ وَلا أَر

    ضى الهَوى مِن شُرَكائي

    I love you, and will not

    tolerate love from my rivals.

  12. غِرتُ حَتّى لَتَرى أَر

    ضِيَ غَيرى مِن سَمائي

    I have grown so jealous that you see my

    earth jealous of my sky.

  13. لَيتَني كُنتُ رِداءً

    لَكَ أَو كُنتَ رِدائي

    Would that I were a cloak

    for you, or you were my cloak.

  14. لَيتَني ماؤُكَ في الغُل

    لَةِ أَو لَيتَكَ مائي

    Would that I were your water in

    burning thirst, or that you were my water.
