ما جَرَتْ خطرةٌ على القلبِ منّي

ما جَرَتْ خطرةٌ على القلبِ منّي

فيكَ إلاّ استترتُ عن أَصحابِي

فيكَ إلاّ استترتُ عن أَصحابِي

Never has a fleeting thought crossed this heart of mine

No thought crossed my heart about you

Of you, but I have hidden from my companions

That I didn't conceal from my friends

من دموعٍ تَجري فإنْ كنتُ وَحدي

من دموعٍ تَجري فإنْ كنتُ وَحدي

خالياً أسْعَدت دُموعي انتحابي

خالياً أسْعَدت دُموعي انتحابي

Because of tears that flow; and if I am alone,

With tears that flow, so if I were alone

In solitude, my tears aid my sobbing.

My weeping would bring me solace

إنَّ حُبّي إِيّاكَ قد سَلَّ جِسمي

إنَّ حُبّي إِيّاكَ قد سَلَّ جِسمي

ورَماني بالشَّيْبِ قبلَ الشبابِ

ورَماني بالشَّيْبِ قبلَ الشبابِ

Indeed, my love for you has already wasted my body

Indeed my love for you has worn down my body

And struck me with gray hair before youth.

And brought me gray hair before youth

لو مَنحت اللِقا شَفى بك صباً

لو مَنحت اللِقا شَفى بك صباً

هائمَ القلبِ قد ثَوى في الترابِ

هائمَ القلبِ قد ثَوى في الترابِ

If you granted a meeting, it would heal, through you, a lovesick lover,

If I were granted a meeting, I'd be cured by you, O youth

Distraught of heart, who has already come to rest in the dust.

My heart, crazed, lies in the dust
