يا مُمْرِضَ جِسْمِهِ وَيَا مُتْلِفَهُ

يا مُمْرِضَ جِسْمِهِ وَيَا مُتْلِفَهُ

كَمْ تُتْلِفُهُ هَجْراً وَلاَ تُنْصِفُهُ

كَمْ تُتْلِفُهُ هَجْراً وَلاَ تُنْصِفُهُ

O you who sicken his body, and O you who destroy him!

O you who are nursing his body and composing him,

How often you destroy him through abandonment, yet do him no justice!

How you put him together in separation and do not do him justice.

رِقُّوا لِمُتَيَّمٍ بِكُمْ حِلْفُ أَسىً

رِقُّوا لِمُتَيَّمٍ بِكُمْ حِلْفُ أَسىً

في حُبِّكُم المنامُ لا يَعْرِفُهُ

في حُبِّكُم المنامُ لا يَعْرِفُهُ

Have pity on one enslaved by love for you, a companion of sorrow;

Have mercy on an orphan whose covenant with you is of grief,

In his love for you, sleep does not know him.

In your love, sleep does not know him.
