يا قَمَراً أَصبَحَ لي مالِكا

يا قَمَراً أَصبَحَ لي مالِكا

لا تَترُكَنّي هَكَذا هالِكا

لا تَترُكَنّي هَكَذا هالِكا

O moon who has become my master,

Oh moon you have become an owner to me

Do not leave me perishing like this.

Don't leave me like this, destroyed

وَفَلذَةَ الكبدِ الَّتي ضَمَّها

وَفَلذَةَ الكبدِ الَّتي ضَمَّها

مَبيتُها الدهرَ بأوحالكا

مَبيتُها الدهرَ بأوحالكا

And the fragment of the liver, which was enfolded

And the piece of my liver that it has held

By its lodging forever in your mires—

Its home has been in your mud forever

رَقَّ عَلى قَلبِ العَميدِ الَّذي

رَقَّ عَلى قَلبِ العَميدِ الَّذي

يَوَدُّ أَن يَجري عَلى بالكِا

يَوَدُّ أَن يَجري عَلى بالكِا

Have pity on the heart of the love-stricken one

It softened the heart of the colonel who

Who longs to cross your mind.

Wishes it flows into your thoughts

حسنت في خَلق وَخُلقٍ فَلِم

حسنت في خَلق وَخُلقٍ فَلِم

رَضيتَ بِالقُبحِ لِأَفعالِكا

رَضيتَ بِالقُبحِ لِأَفعالِكا

You are beautiful in form and character—so why

You were good in nature and ethics so why

Have you been content with ugliness in your deeds?

Did you accept ugliness for your actions
