وَلَقَد دَفَنتُ هَواكُمُ

وَلَقَد دَفَنتُ هَواكُمُ

مِنّي بِمَقبَرَةِ القُلوبِ

مِنّي بِمَقبَرَةِ القُلوبِ

And indeed, I have buried my love for you

I have buried my love for you

Within me, in the graveyard of hearts.

In the graveyard of hearts

وَكَتَمتُ حُبَّكِ جاهِداً

وَكَتَمتُ حُبَّكِ جاهِداً

وَرَعَيتُ غَيبَكِ بِالمَغيبِ

وَرَعَيتُ غَيبَكِ بِالمَغيبِ

And I concealed my love for you with great effort,

And concealed my affection mightily

And kept faith with you in your absence.

And tended to your absence with patience

وَرَضيتُ مِنكِ بِدونِ ما

وَرَضيتُ مِنكِ بِدونِ ما

يَرضى المُحِبُّ مِنَ الحَبيبِ

يَرضى المُحِبُّ مِنَ الحَبيبِ

And I accepted from you less than

And I was satisfied with less than

A lover accepts from the beloved.

What would satisfy a lover from the beloved

فَنَعَم هَبيني مُذنِباً

فَنَعَم هَبيني مُذنِباً

فَتَجاوَزي لي عَن ذُنوبي

فَتَجاوَزي لي عَن ذُنوبي

So yes, consider me guilty;

So treat me kindly though I am a sinner

Then pardon me for my sins.

And forgive my trespasses
