إِذا ما نَسيتُكَ مَن أَذكُرُ

إِذا ما نَسيتُكَ مَن أَذكُرُ

سِواكَ بِبالي لايَخطُرُ

سِواكَ بِبالي لايَخطُرُ

If ever I forget you, whom would I remember?

When I forget you, who else comes to mind?

No one but you comes to mind.

None but you my thoughts will find.

وَيَومُ سُروري يَومُ أَراكَ

وَيَومُ سُروري يَومُ أَراكَ

لِأَنّي بِوَجهِكَ أَستَبشِرُ

لِأَنّي بِوَجهِكَ أَستَبشِرُ

And my day of joy is the day I see you,

My day of joy is when I see your face,

for I rejoice at the sight of your face.

For with your smile, I'm filled with grace.

وَإِن غابَ أُنسُكَ عَن مَجلِسي

وَإِن غابَ أُنسُكَ عَن مَجلِسي

فَما لِيَ أُنسٌ بِمَن يَحضُرُ

فَما لِيَ أُنسٌ بِمَن يَحضُرُ

And if your company is absent from my gathering,

When you're not here, no joy fills my place,

then I find no comfort in those who attend.

What company have I when you're not present?

عَلى الناسِ حَتّى أَراكَ السَلامُ

عَلى الناسِ حَتّى أَراكَ السَلامُ

فَما ثَمَّ بَعدَكَ مَن يُبصَرُ

فَما ثَمَّ بَعدَكَ مَن يُبصَرُ

Farewell to everyone until I see you,

To people I say "peace" until I see you again,

for apart from you, there is no one to behold.

For after you, there is no other vision.

وَكَم لَكَ عِندِيَ مِن مِنَّةٍ

وَكَم لَكَ عِندِيَ مِن مِنَّةٍ

لِسانِيَ عَن شُكرِها يَقصُرُ

لِسانِيَ عَن شُكرِها يَقصُرُ

And how many favors you have bestowed on me—

And how many gifts you've given me,

my tongue falls short of giving thanks for them.

My tongue falls short in thanking thee.
