لا أَرَّقَ اللَهُ عَينَي مَنْ يُؤَرِّقُني

لا أَرَّقَ اللَهُ عَينَي مَنْ يُؤَرِّقُني

وَلا مَلا مثل قلبي قَلْبَهُ بُرَحَا

وَلا مَلا مثل قلبي قَلْبَهُ بُرَحَا

May God not keep sleepless the eyes of him who keeps me sleepless,

nor fill his heart, as mine is filled, with anguish.

قَدْ سَرَّني أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ سَرَّهُمْ سَقَمي

قَدْ سَرَّني أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ سَرَّهُمْ سَقَمي

فَازْدَدْتُ سُقْماً لِيَزْدادوا بِهِ فَرَحا

فَازْدَدْتُ سُقْماً لِيَزْدادوا بِهِ فَرَحا

Indeed, it pleased me that my sickness had pleased them,

so I grew sicker, that their joy in it might grow.
