أَنا في عَذابٍ مِن فراقِك

أَنا في عَذابٍ مِن فراقِك

سكرانُ مِن خمر اِشتياقِكْ

سكرانُ مِن خمر اِشتياقِكْ

I am in torment, parted from you,

I am in torment from parting from you,

drunk on the wine of longing for you.

drunk on the wine of longing for you.

صَبّ الفُرادِ إِلى لِقا

صَبّ الفُرادِ إِلى لِقا

ئِك وَارتِشافِك وَاِعتِناقِكْ

ئِك وَارتِشافِك وَاِعتِناقِكْ

My lovesick heart yearns to meet—

Lovesick at heart, I yearn to meet

you, to drink you in, and to embrace you.

you, sip from you, and embrace you.

لا تَحسَبي أَنّي سَلَو

لا تَحسَبي أَنّي سَلَو

تُ لِما تَوالى مِن فِراقِكْ

تُ لِما تَوالى مِن فِراقِكْ

Do not think that I have forgotten

Do not think that I have forgot-

because separation from you has dragged on.

ten you because separation from you has dragged on.

هَذي جُفوني أَقسَمَت

هَذي جُفوني أَقسَمَت

لا تَلتَقي مالَم تُلاقِكْ

لا تَلتَقي مالَم تُلاقِكْ

These eyelids of mine have sworn

These eyelids of mine have sworn

never to meet unless they meet you.

not to meet until they meet you.

فَصِلي جَميلَ الظنّ بي

فَصِلي جَميلَ الظنّ بي

وَثِقي فَقَلبي في وِثاقِكْ

وَثِقي فَقَلبي في وِثاقِكْ

So keep a kindly thought of me,

So keep thinking well of me,

and trust: my heart lies in your bonds.

and trust me, for my heart is in your bonds.
