1. O beloveds of my heart, my wish is at your command
Pray for me, for my night has grown long in your absence

2. Yet pacts you made oblige me to thank you
When night descends, my heart is consumed with thoughts of you

3. I mourn like a caged dove that cries
I nourish my hopes when night falls heavily

4. Maybe I'll see the dawn of our reunion breathe
Can medicine cure me when even doctors fail?

5. Above me, clouds rain sorrow and pain
Below me, seas surge with yearning

6. Oh you who journey through my heart, your path
Leads to a destination I seek refuge in

7. To live with you, if only your bed came near mine
Ask Umm 'Amr how her captive spent the night

8. Freeing prisoners but himself bound
To free his folk, mine are graciousness and purity

9. My soul is theirs, in them glory and excellence
They captured my heart and in it are wounds

10. Not slain so death brings relief
Nor held hostage and then released
