لَعَلَّ اللَهَ يَجمَعُنا قَريباً

لَعَلَّ اللَهَ يَجمَعُنا قَريباً

فَنُصبِحُ في اِلتِئامٍ وَاِتِّفاقِ

فَنُصبِحُ في اِلتِئامٍ وَاِتِّفاقِ

May God bring us together soon,

Perhaps God will reunite us soon

So we may be reunited and in harmony.

So we become together in harmony and agreement

أُحَدِّثَكُم بِأَعجَبَ ماجَرى لي

أُحَدِّثَكُم بِأَعجَبَ ماجَرى لي

وَأَصعَبَ مالَقيتُ مِنَ الفِراقِ

وَأَصعَبَ مالَقيتُ مِنَ الفِراقِ

I will tell you of the strangest things that befell me,

I will tell you the most amazing thing that happened to me

And the hardest things I suffered through separation.

And the hardest thing I faced with the separation

وَأَشفَي غُلَّتي مِنكُم إِلَيكُم

وَأَشفَي غُلَّتي مِنكُم إِلَيكُم

فَإِنَّ الكُتبَ لاتَسَعُ اِشتِياقي

فَإِنَّ الكُتبَ لاتَسَعُ اِشتِياقي

And turn to you to quench the burning thirst you cause me,

And I will relieve my longing for you among you

For letters cannot contain my longing.

For books cannot contain my yearning

خَبَّأتُ لَكُم حَديثاً في فُؤادي

خَبَّأتُ لَكُم حَديثاً في فُؤادي

لَأُتحِفَكُم بِهِ عِندَ التَلاقي

لَأُتحِفَكُم بِهِ عِندَ التَلاقي

I have hidden a tale for you in my heart,

I have hidden a conversation for you in my heart

To offer it to you as a gift when we meet.

To gift it to you upon the reunion

وَأَعتِبُكُم عَلى ماكانَ مِنكُم

وَأَعتِبُكُم عَلى ماكانَ مِنكُم

عِتاباً يَنقَضي وَالوُدُّ باقي

عِتاباً يَنقَضي وَالوُدُّ باقي

And reproach you for what you have done—

And I will gently blame you for what was from you

A reproach that passes, while affection remains.

A blame that passes as affection remains
