1. يا رَبُّ رُدُّ عَلَينا

    مَن كانَ أُنساً وَزَينا

    O Lord, bring back to us

    the one who was our solace and adornment,

  2. مَن لا نُسَرُّ بِعَيشٍ

    حَتّى يُكونَ لَدَينا

    the one without whom we take no joy in life

    until he is here beside us.

  3. يا مَن أُتيحُ لِقَلبي

    هَواهُ شُؤماً وَحَينا

    O you whose love was fated for my heart

    as ill fortune and doom,

  4. مازِلتُ مُذ غِبتَ عَنّي

    مِن أَسخَنِ الناسِ عَينا

    ever since you vanished from me, I have remained

    among the most tearful-eyed of all people.

  5. ما كانَ حَجُّكَ هَذا

    إِلّا بَلاءً عَلَينا

    This love of yours has been

    nothing but an affliction upon us.
