1. الليل بدموعه جاني

    يا حمام نوّح ويايه

    The night came to me with its tears.

    O dove, lament with me.

  2. نوّح واشرح أشجاني

    دا جواك من جنس جوايه

    Lament and tell of my sorrows.

    This heartache of yours is of the same kind as mine.

  3. الشوق هاجك من نوحك

    وشكيت الوجد معايه

    Longing has stirred you, judging by your lament,

    And you complained of love’s anguish with me.

  4. أبكى بالدمع لنواحك

    وتنوّح يا حمام لبكايه

    I shed tears at your lament,

    And you lament, O dove, at my weeping.

  5. بعد الأحباب لوّعنا

    والصبر دواك ودوايه

    Separation from loved ones has tormented us,

    And patience is your remedy and mine.

  6. مِسير الأيام تجمعنا

    إن كان في الصبر بقايه

    The days will surely reunite us,

    If my survival lies in patience.

  7. إن لقيت عندي من حبي

    سلطان العشق هوايه

    If you find in me, through my love,

    Love’s sway to be my passion,

  8. أنا خدت الدمع في قلبي

    وأكتم في القلب أسايه

    I have taken the tears into my heart,

    And I hide my sorrow in my heart.
