وعديني بموعدٍ

وعديني بموعدٍ

وامطلي ما حييتِ بهْ

وامطلي ما حييتِ بهْ

Promise me a meeting,

You promised me a tryst

and keep putting it off as long as you live.

And kept me longing as long as you lived

ودعيني أفوزُ من

ودعيني أفوزُ من

كِ بنجوى تطلُّبِه

كِ بنجوى تطلُّبِه

And let me gain from

And left me to reap from your

you the whispered talk of seeking it;

Whispered longing a greater prize

فعسى يعثرُ الزما

فعسى يعثرُ الزما

نُ بِحُبّي فينتبه

نُ بِحُبّي فينتبه

so perhaps Time will stumble

Perhaps time will trip on

upon my love and awaken.

My love and awaken
