أشكوI complain إلىto اللَهGod ماwhat لاقيتI endured منof حرقٍburning anguish
أشكو إلى اللَه ما لاقيت من حرقٍ
يومon the day of الفراقparting وماand what لاقيتI endured منof ألمِpain
يوم الفراق وما لاقيت من ألمِ
I complain to God of the burning anguish I endured
I gaze upon your name within my heart
on the day of parting, and of the pain I endured.
The day we parted, such agony I felt
لوif لمnot يكنbe فيin جنانيmy heart رسمoutline صورتكمyour image
لو لم يكن في جناني رسم صورتكم
وفيand upon لسانيmy tongue ثناكمpraise of you ذبتٌI would have melted منfrom ندميmy remorse
وفي لساني ثناكم ذبتٌ من ندمي
Were the outline of your image not in my heart,
Were you not etched into my soul, your memory
and praise of you upon my tongue, I would have melted away in my remorse.
My tongue would not speak your praise, and I would melt
