جَعَلتِ مَحَلَّةَ البَلوى فُؤادي

جَعَلتِ مَحَلَّةَ البَلوى فُؤادي

وَسَلَّطتِ السُهادَ عَلى رُقادي

وَسَلَّطتِ السُهادَ عَلى رُقادي

You made my heart the dwelling of affliction.

You have made my heart a dwelling place for affliction,

And you imposed sleeplessness upon my slumber.

And unleashed insomnia upon my slumber.

وَنِمتِ خَلِيَّةً وَفَقَدتُ نَومي

وَنِمتِ خَلِيَّةً وَفَقَدتُ نَومي

أَما اِستَحيا رُقادُكِ مِن سُهادي

أَما اِستَحيا رُقادُكِ مِن سُهادي

And you slept carefree, while I lost my sleep.

You slept deeply while I lost my sleep,

Was your slumber not ashamed of my sleeplessness?

Does not your sleep feel ashamed before my insomnia?

سَأَسكُتُ إِن بَخِلتِ بِجَدعِ أَنفي

سَأَسكُتُ إِن بَخِلتِ بِجَدعِ أَنفي

وَأَحفَظُكُم إِلى يَومِ التَنادِ

وَأَحفَظُكُم إِلى يَومِ التَنادِ

I shall be silent if you begrudge cutting off my nose.

I will stay silent if you begrudge me my breath,

And I shall safeguard you until the Day of Calling.

And keep you safely until the day we meet.

وَأَنصَحُكِ المَوَدَّةَ مِن ضَميري

وَأَنصَحُكِ المَوَدَّةَ مِن ضَميري

وَأَذخَرُ سِرَّ حُبِّكِ في فُؤادي

وَأَذخَرُ سِرَّ حُبِّكِ في فُؤادي

And I offer you sincere affection from my inmost heart.

I advise you sincere affection from my conscience,

And I treasure the secret of loving you in my heart.

And store the secret of your love in my heart.
