جاءَ العِذارُ لِشَينِك

جاءَ العِذارُ لِشَينِك

وَنَسخِ آيَةِ زَينِك

وَنَسخِ آيَةِ زَينِك

The down on your cheeks has come to mar you

The excuse for your disgrace came,

and abrogate the verse of your beauty.

And the erasing of the verse of your beauty.

فَبانَ قُرَّةُ عَيني

فَبانَ قُرَّةُ عَيني

عَنّي وَقُرَّةُ عَينِك

عَنّي وَقُرَّةُ عَينِك

So the delight of my eye departed

So the delight of my eye from me was revealed,

from me—and the delight of your eye too.

And the delight of your eye from you.

فَكَم نَتَفتَ إِلى أَن

فَكَم نَتَفتَ إِلى أَن

أَبدَيتَ صَفحَةَ مَينِك

أَبدَيتَ صَفحَةَ مَينِك

How often you plucked, until

How much did you sniff until

you laid bare the face of your deceit!

You showed the page of your leaning.

فَأَذهَب عِذارُكَ هَذا

فَأَذهَب عِذارُكَ هَذا

فِراق بَيني وَبَينِك

فِراق بَيني وَبَينِك

Go, then; this down on your cheeks

So let this excuse of yours go,

is a parting between me and you.

Separation between me and you.

فَالآنَ فَالطُم وَنُح وَاِب

فَالآنَ فَالطُم وَنُح وَاِب

كِ إِذ أَتى حينُ حَينِك

كِ إِذ أَتى حينُ حَينِك

So now slap your face, wail, and wee-

So now welcome tears and lamentations,

p, for the hour of your doom has come.

When the time of your time has come.
