يامُعرِضَن مُتَغَضِّباً

يامُعرِضَن مُتَغَضِّباً

حاشاكَ يا عَيني وَروحي

حاشاكَ يا عَيني وَروحي

O you who turn away in anger,

O one who turns away angrily from me

Far be it from you, O my eye and my soul!

Far be it from you, my eyes and my soul

لَم تَدرِ مافَعَلَ البُكا

لَم تَدرِ مافَعَلَ البُكا

ءُ عَلَيكَ بِالجَفنِ القَريحِ

ءُ عَلَيكَ بِالجَفنِ القَريحِ

You do not know what weeping

You did not know what weeping

over you has done to my sore eyelid.

Did to me, with tired eyelids

وَجَرَحتَ قَلبي بِالجَفا

وَجَرَحتَ قَلبي بِالجَفا

ءِ فَآهٍ لِلقَلبِ الجَريحِ

ءِ فَآهٍ لِلقَلبِ الجَريحِ

And you wounded my heart with coldness;

And you wounded my heart with your coldness

so alas for the wounded heart!

Alas for the wounded heart

قَبَّحتَ فِيَّ بِما فَعَل

قَبَّحتَ فِيَّ بِما فَعَل

تَ وَلَستَ مِن أَهلِ القَبيحِ

تَ وَلَستَ مِن أَهلِ القَبيحِ

You treated me shamefully by what you did,

You thought badly of me for what you did

yet you are not among those who act shamefully.

Yet you are not one to think badly

إِن كُنتَ مِنّي مُستَري

إِن كُنتَ مِنّي مُستَري

حاً لَستُ مِنكَ بِمُستَريحِ

حاً لَستُ مِنكَ بِمُستَريحِ

If you are at ease away from me,

If I found comfort

I am not at ease away from you.

From you, I am not one to be comforted

فَمَتى أَفوزُ بِنَظرَةٍ

فَمَتى أَفوزُ بِنَظرَةٍ

مِن وَجهِكَ الحَسَنِ المَليحِ

مِن وَجهِكَ الحَسَنِ المَليحِ

So when shall I win a glance

So when will I win a glance

from your fair and lovely face?

From your beautiful, radiant face?

لَكَ في ضَميري ماعَلم

لَكَ في ضَميري ماعَلم

تَ بِهِ مِنَ الوُدِّ الصَريحِ

تَ بِهِ مِنَ الوُدِّ الصَريحِ

For you in my heart is what you know

In my conscience is something

of sincere affection.

You do not know of sincere affection

وَكَذاكَ أَنتَ فَسَل ضَمي

وَكَذاكَ أَنتَ فَسَل ضَمي

رَكَ فَهُوَ يَشهَدُ بِالصَحيحِ

رَكَ فَهُوَ يَشهَدُ بِالصَحيحِ

And you are likewise; so ask your conscience,

And so too, ask your own conscience

for it bears witness to the truth.

It will testify to the truth
